What is a VAT fiscal unity ruling?

A written confirmation from the tax inspector that two or more entrepreneurs are financially, organisationally and economically interlinked and therefore count as a single taxable person for VAT (article 7(4) Dutch VAT Act 1968). The fiscal unity already exists by operation of law once the interlinkage is met; the ruling only provides certainty.

Who requests a VAT fiscal unity?
