- Court case involving the municipality receiving a contribution from a waste fund for work related to packaging waste
- Dispute over whether this contribution is subject to VAT
- Court rules that the contribution is not subject to VAT as it is a financial contribution towards the municipality’s costs for carrying out its statutory task under environmental law
- The municipality’s task includes collecting household packaging waste, which is paid for by the packaging industry
- The responsibility of the packaging industry does not limit the municipality’s statutory task
- Appeal is granted
