- The State Secretary has announced that, despite recent court rulings (Hof Arnhem-Leeuwarden, September 2025) stating that pension administration is not a VAT-exempt insurance service and thus pension premiums are subject to VAT, the Tax Authority will continue to treat pension administration as a single VAT-exempt service, in line with an earlier ruling (Hof Amsterdam, February 2023). This position will remain until the Supreme Court makes a final decision. Therefore, pension funds following the Tax Authority’s position do not need to charge VAT on pension premiums for now.
