- The European Court of Justice confirms VAT exemption for fiscal units
- Companies in the Netherlands and other EU countries considered as one taxpayer for VAT can breathe a sigh of relief
- The Court ruled that fiscal units are exempt from VAT for internal transactions, even if it is disadvantageous for the state treasury
- The case involved a foundation providing cleaning services within a university in Germany
- If the Court had ruled differently, companies in fiscal units would have had to charge VAT for internal transactions and maintain separate VAT records, leading to administrative burden and higher tax payments.
