- The case concerns whether a company can obtain voluntary VAT registration and deduction rights for renting out care homes to a municipality, which will sublet them to elderly people with 24-hour care decisions.
- The company seeks confirmation that entering a lease agreement with the municipality is sufficient for voluntary registration and VAT deduction, without needing sublease agreements with individual residents.
- The lease agreement with the municipality is planned for at least 30 years, with the municipality using the premises as care homes and common areas for elderly residents.
- The request for a binding advance ruling is made on behalf of a future wholly owned subsidiary, with plans to sell 50% of its shares to an external company, which should not affect the assessment.
- All formal requirements for the advance ruling are met, and the necessary fee has been paid.
