- The Supreme Court (Hoge Raad) annulled the imposed tax penalties on X BV.
- X BV’s intent was to evade VAT in another EU member state, not in the Netherlands.
- The court ruled that this intent does not constitute a punishable offense under Dutch tax law (art. 67f lid 1 AWR).
- The Supreme Court also rejected the tax inspector’s claim of gross negligence by X BV.
- Previous case law suggesting otherwise was overturned by this decision.
