VAT on management of collective investments funds
JP Morgan Fleming Claverhouse Investment Trust plc and The Association of Investment Trust Companies v The Commissioners of HM Revenue and Custom (C-363/05)
On 28 June 2007, the ECJ delivered its judgment, deciding that the term "special investment funds" can include closed-ended investment funds, and, consequently, that the management fees paid by those funds can in principle be exempt from VAT in the same way as the management costs of open-ended funds. This case note looks at that decision in light of recent developments.
