Comments on ECJ C-73/23: Abolition of VAT exemption for online games of chance not contrary to EU law

Advocate General Kokott concludes that Belgium did not breach EU law by abolishing the VAT exemption for online gambling. Drawing a distinction between electronically offered games of money and those offered by electronic means is not contrary to the principle of neutrality. Chaudfontaine Loisirs SA, an online casino operator, sought a refund of €640,000 in VAT, claiming a breach of neutrality principle. The AG also noted that the VAT exemption for games of chance in the VAT Directive is not directly applicable.
