No refund of import VAT for imported show jumping horse with injury

  • The ’s-Hertogenbosch Court of Appeal ruled that the import VAT on a show jumping horse is not deductible because the taxpayer did not carry out taxable economic activities.
  • Prize money from competitions does not constitute consideration for a taxable service, in line with the Baštová judgment, and therefore does not give rise to a right to deduct VAT.
  • Subsidies received from a committee were not linked to any taxable supplies, and no direct connection was shown between the import of the horse and activities giving rise to VAT deduction.
