The Zeeland-West-Brabant District Court ruled that X provided independent services to its German customer for organizing a car race and a training race. X charged German Mehrwertsteuer on the invoices sent to the German customer. The court found that X’s activities, including accommodation, catering, circuit rental, and transport, were independent services subject to Dutch VAT as they took place in the Netherlands. X failed to prove that the main service consisted of organizing the entire event. Therefore, the court ruled in favor of the tax authority.
