Financial mediation at stands may be VAT exempt if active customer acquisition is performed rather than mere information provision

An entity queried whether its services for acquiring customers for financial products via stands in shopping centres were exempt from VAT. The DGT ruled that the exemption depends on whether the activity constitutes genuine mediation or is merely the provision of information or advertising.

In 6 key points

How it affects those involved

Companies providing financial services through physical stands must ensure their activities involve active mediation to qualify for VAT exemption, as purely informative or promotional activities do not meet the criteria.
