Court Ruling: Recharge of Liability Insurance Premiums – No Taxable Service Provided

  • Dispute over whether the WA premium is subject to VAT
  • Inspector argues that the WA premium is payment for a service provided by the taxpayer to the Holding Company
  • Taxpayer argues that no taxable service is provided to the Holding Company
  • Taxpayer also argues for VAT exemption based on insurance or medical care exemptions
  • Court rules that the service of indemnification is provided by the insurer, not the taxpayer
  • Court concludes that the taxpayer does not provide any taxable service in relation to the WA premium
  • Taxpayer wrongly paid VAT on the WA premium
  • Court states that the WA premium is a contribution to the costs of the liability insurance and not payment for a service
