The teaching of viticulture and sommelier studies is not exempt from VAT if the subject is not part of an official curriculum

An entity providing viticulture and sommelier courses including wine tastings inquires whether it may apply the VAT exemption. The DGT responds that the exemption requires the teaching to be included in a curriculum within the Spanish educational system.

The question raised

Question posed: Possibility of applying the Value Added Tax exemption provided for in Article 20.One.9º of Law 37/1992

The DGT's ruling

To apply the exemption under Article 20.One.9º of Law 37/1992, two requirements must be met: a subjective one, that the entity is authorized for teaching, and an objective one, that the subject is included in a curriculum of the Spanish educational system. If the subject is not included in such curricula, the activity does not benefit from the exemption. Regarding the wine tastings conducted during classes, if they are ancillary to the main educational service, they shall follow the same tax treatment as the teaching.
