- The dispute concerns whether a payment made in 2019 is a final installment for a 2014 business transfer or a new, VAT-taxable service.
- The tax inspector argues the 2019 payment is a buyout for use rights, separate from the 2014 transfer, and thus subject to VAT.
- The taxpayer claims the payment is the final part of the original business sale, not a new service, and should not be subject to VAT.
- Both parties agree to handle the tax consequences solely with the taxpayer.
- Dutch law (article 37d Wet OB) allows certain business transfers to be exempt from VAT if they qualify as a transfer of a going concern.
