Municipalities cannot deduct VAT on elderly care services paid to concessionaires

A local council has requested clarification on whether it is the recipient of services provided by a managed care home and if it can deduct VAT on partial payments made. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that the actual recipients are the users and that the council, acting as the end consumer, is not entitled to deduct the VAT.
