Climbing courses exempt from VAT only if classified as educational services within a curriculum

A sports training entity inquired whether its climbing courses are VAT-exempt due to being part of a curriculum. The DGT ruled that exemption only applies if specific subjective requirements (being an authorised entity) and objective requirements (the transmission of knowledge) are met, distinguishing formal teaching from mere sports practice.

In 6 key points

How it affects those involved
