Dutch Supreme Court Refers VAT Exemption on Property Transfer to CJEU for Clarification

  • The Dutch Supreme Court referred two questions to the CJEU about the VAT exemption for transfer of going concern under EU and Dutch law.
  • The case concerns whether the sale of leased immovable property by a property developer qualifies as a transfer of going concern, impacting VAT and potentially real property transfer tax.
  • The facts involve a real estate group transforming an office building into apartments, leasing them, and then selling the property to an investment company, which claimed VAT exemption.
  • The District Court and Court of Appeal examined whether the transaction was subject to VAT or exempt as a transfer of going concern.
