Request for a preliminary ruling from the Rechtbank Gelderland (Netherlands) lodged on 12 October 2022 — Stichting BPL Pensioen v Inspecteur van de Belastingdienst Utrecht
(Case C-643/22)
(2023/C 35/32)
Language of the case: Dutch
Referring court
Rechtbank Gelderland
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Stichting BPL Pensioen
Defendant: Inspecteur van de Belastingdienst Utrecht
Question referred
Must Article 135(1)(g) of the VAT Directive (1) be interpreted as meaning that unit-holders in a pension fund such as the one at issue in the main proceedings can be regarded as bearing investment risk, and does this mean that the pension fund constitutes a ‘special investment fund’ within the meaning of that provision? Is it relevant in that regard:
— |
whether unit-holders bear an individual investment risk or is it sufficient that unit-holders as a collective — and no one else — bear the consequences of the investment results? |
— |
what the magnitude of the collective or individual risk is? |
— |
to what extent the amount of the pension benefit depends also on other factors, such as the number of years of pension accrual, salary level and the actuarial interest rate? |
