VAT liability and exemption on childcare, education, and extracurricular services

The DGT states that education and child care may be exempt if specific conditions are met, or subject to a 10% VAT rate if considered social assistance by social entities.

The question raised

Question posed: Liability, exemption, and applicable tax rate for Value Added Tax purposes.

The DGT's ruling

Childcare and custody are exempt if provided by authorized entities. Courses are exempt if the subjects are included in official curricula; otherwise, they are taxed at 21%. Camps and extracurricular activities may be taxed at the reduced rate of 10% if they are considered social assistance services (child and youth protection) provided by entities of a social nature. If these requirements are not met, the general rate of 21% shall apply.
