Transfer of hunting rights subject to VAT, unless via administrative concession

A local council has requested clarification regarding VAT taxation on the leasing of hunting grounds and the harvesting of timber in public utility forests. The Directorate-General for Taxes (DGT) clarifies that the transfer of hunting rights is subject to VAT if it constitutes a private asset, but not if it is a concession of a public domain asset. Furthermore, timber harvesting may qualify for the special regime for agriculture, livestock, and fisheries.
