Re-invoicing of maintenance and investment costs for water management is not subject to VAT

An irrigation community has requested clarification on whether passing on maintenance and investment costs to its members is subject to VAT. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) has ruled that if these costs arise from water management and use activities that are not subject to VAT, the re-invoicing of such costs will also be exempt from the tax.
