Cleaning and laundry services provided to social assistance entities are subject to VAT

A social integration company enquired whether its cleaning, laundry, and adapted transport services for care homes and day centres were exempt from VAT due to their nature as social assistance. The DGT ruled that cleaning and laundry are general services subject to tax, and that transport is only exempt if specific vehicle adaptation requirements are met.
