- X, a Lithuanian temporary employment agency, provides accommodation in the Netherlands for its employees working for Dutch clients, charging them a fee of €3 per hour worked, up to €520 monthly, deducted from their salaries.
- X sought VAT refunds on the costs of this accommodation, leading to a dispute over whether providing housing to employees constitutes a taxable supply of services for consideration.
- The Court of Appeal ruled that X’s provision of accommodation is a supply of services for consideration, citing a direct link between the housing and the remuneration paid by employees, thus rejecting X’s refund applications.
