The Hague district court issued a judgment concerning value added tax (VAT) on the re-charged fees related to a bank’s use of an external advisor in connection with providing loans to a partnership (one of the bank’s customers).
In the court’s opinion, the re-charging of these fees qualified as a VAT-exempt extension of credit, and thus, no VAT is payable.
