Language of the case: English
Referring court
Court of Appeal
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: United Biscuits (Pension Trustees) Limited, United Biscuits Pension Investments Limited
Defendant: Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs
Operative part of the judgment
Article 135(1)(a) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax must be interpreted as meaning that investment fund management services supplied for an occupational pension scheme, which do not provide any indemnity from risk, cannot be classified as ‘insurance transactions’, within the meaning of that provision, and thus do not fall within the value added tax (VAT) exemption laid down in that provision in favour of such transactions.
