- The planned rental of individually identified storage units (1–30 m²) was treated as granting the customer an exclusive right to use specific real property.
- The service was therefore characterized as passive letting of immovable property under EU VAT principles, not a taxable service supply.
- The transfer of the right to use the storage space is VAT-exempt under section 27(1) of the Value Added Tax Act and Article 135(1)(l) of the VAT Directive.
- The supplier may opt to become liable to VAT under the conditions in section 30 of the Value Added Tax Act.
- The ruling applies for the period 21 August 2026 to 31 December 2027.
