The Gelderland District Court ruled that X performs VAT-exempt insurance services and is therefore not entitled to deduct input VAT. X, a general pension fund for multiple employers, operates through employer-specific collectivity groups, where employees are mandatorily enrolled and partially fund the premiums. As X assumes the risk and is contractually obligated to pay out upon insured events, the neutrality principle does not apply, and the appeal was dismissed as unfounded.
