- The court ruled that an occupational pension fund’s basic scheme constitutes an insurance service, qualifying for VAT exemption.
- As a result, the fund cannot deduct input VAT on related costs, except for a small part linked to non-EU securities transactions.
- The fund assumes insurance risk similar to an insurer, and the existence of a legal relationship with participants supports the insurance qualification.
- The appeal was dismissed, and the remaining input VAT deduction remains denied.
