On 9 December 2015 the European Court of Justice issued a ruling on the VAT exemption for fund management services deciding that the management of real estate funds may also qualify exempt. However in order to qualify for the exemption an investment fund must be regulated (i.e. subject to governmental supervision). Consequently, the management of a regulated real estate fund is exempt from VAT. However, property management of real estate held by such fund cannot benefit from the VAT exemption for fund management according to the ECJ.
