Dutch Questions to the ECJ: Land Sales, Economic Activity, and Joint Individuals

  • ET and her husband WT acquired and sold various plots without paying VAT
  • Tax authorities imposed a VAT debt, claiming that the sale of the plots constitutes an economic activity
  • The referring judge in Poland is unsure about the interpretation of the term ‘economic activity’ in the VAT Directive
  • The judge questions whether it is relevant that the land’s destination was changed at the couple’s initiative
  • The judge also wants to know if a group of jointly acting natural persons falls under the term ‘person’ in the VAT Directive
