- The State Secretary of Finance will not adopt the Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court’s 30 September 2025 rulings as the basis for taxing pension premiums.
- The court had ruled that pension execution is a single service not exempt from VAT, making the full pension premium subject to VAT and allowing VAT deduction.
- The State Secretary’s position aligns with a 2023 Amsterdam Court ruling, which treats pension execution as a VAT-exempt insurance service.
- The current tax authority policy remains unchanged until the Supreme Court rules on the matter.
- Pension funds following the tax authority’s position do not need to charge VAT on pension premiums.
