Independent Childcare Worker Denied VAT Exemption by Gelderland Court

  • X is a self-employed childcare worker who offers her services through a platform
  • X has a service agreement with at least one childcare center registered under the Childcare Act
  • The issue is whether X is entitled to the VAT exemption for childcare services under Article 11, Section 1, Subsection w of the VAT Act 1968
  • The Gelderland Court ruled that X is not eligible for the VAT exemption
  • The court determined that X’s services are considered as providing labor, not as childcare services as defined in the VAT Act
  • It is the childcare center, not X, that actually provides childcare services to the parents or guardians
  • Childcare services involve more than just the tasks performed by childcare workers; they also include providing and maintaining facilities like beds, tables, chairs, sanitary facilities, and toys, which must meet specific standards set by the Childcare Act
  • The court declared the appeal unfounded
  • The case pertains to the VAT period of the first quarter of 2022
  • The case was handled by the Gelderland Court
