  • They buy mineral water from Belgian suppliers and soft drinks from various countries

  • They store their goods in a warehouse in the Netherlands
  • Even when they buy goods in Belgium, they transport them to the Netherlands first before delivering them to Belgian customers
  • The tax inspector found that BV X did not provide proof of transport to Belgium
  • As a result, BV X was not eligible for the VAT zero rate.
