- The Hague District Court ruled against a crypto platform’s claim to deduct input VAT for services provided to non-EU customers.
- The court found that the company only received services from non-EU entities like Bittrex and did not provide any services in return.
- The court emphasized that VAT deduction requires a direct legal and economic relationship with payment for services rendered.
- The company’s appeal was dismissed, and the additional VAT assessments by the Dutch Tax Authority were upheld.
- The ruling highlights that VAT deduction rights depend on actual consideration for services, not just business with non-EU entities.
