Dutch Turnover Tax or EU VAT? On the Permeation of EU VAT Rules in the Dutch Turnover Tax Practise

Abstract:

In this article, the author describes the permeation of EU law in the Dutch turnover tax practice. In the Netherlands, the EU VAT directives have been implemented in the Turnover Tax Act 1968. Through the years, the relevance of these national provisions and their national legislative history seems to have diminished while the case law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has become more and more decisive in settling matters of turnover tax.
