- The Amsterdam Court of Appeal ruled that the interest received by X for money in the escrow account qualifies as exempt turnover, but X must make a pro rata calculation for VAT deduction.
- X provides notarial services and has an escrow account, receiving interest for the credit on the third-party funds account.
- The inspector initially stated that the interest received qualifies as exempt turnover and X must apply a pro rata calculation.
- The court agreed, stating that there is a close connection between X’s economic activity and the provision of credit, and therefore, X must make a pro rata calculation in which the interest counts as exempt turnover.
- The imposed default fine will be annulled.
