- The case concerns whether VAT was correctly paid for management services provided by the claimant to a pension fund.
- The main issue is whether the pension fund qualifies as a “common investment fund” under Dutch VAT law, specifically if participants bear investment risk.
- The court ruled that the pension fund does not qualify as a common investment fund because participants do not bear comparable investment risk.
- The claimant also failed to prove that the pension fund should be treated the same as funds with a defined contribution scheme under the neutrality principle.
- The court declared the claimant’s appeal unfounded.
