Advisory services are subject to VAT if carried out within the scope of the tax

A company based in the Canary Islands has requested a ruling regarding the VAT liability of its online advisory services. The DGT has determined that these operations constitute taxable services and has analysed their nature and place of supply.

The question raised

Question raised: Taxability of advisory operations under Value Added Tax.

The DGT's ruling

Advisory services are considered supplies of services subject to VAT when performed within the territory to which the tax applies. Services are not considered supplied by electronic means if they are not essentially automated and require human intervention. The service shall be subject to tax when the recipient is a taxable person or professional with a registered office or establishment in the territory to which the tax applies. In this case, the recipient shall be the taxable person under the reverse charge mechanism.
