- A Danish subsidiary provided management and accounting services to group companies and its parent company in another EU country.
- The Danish Tax Council ruled the subsidiary did not have full VAT deduction rights for purchases used for its taxable supplies and financial services to the parent company.
- The services were not taxable in Denmark due to their place of supply, but would not grant VAT deduction if supplied in Denmark, as they are VAT-exempt fund management services.
- The Tax Council declined to rule on whether certain services qualified as VAT-exempt portfolio management for investment funds.
- The subsidiary’s VAT-exempt financial activities billed to the Swedish head office may still be subject to payroll tax (lønsumsafgift) in Denmark.
