Human resources training is subject to VAT, unless specific exemption requirements are met

A query was raised regarding the VAT treatment of human resources training services. The DGT determines that the activity is subject to tax, but analyses the conditions for applying exemptions depending on whether the provider acts as a professional or as a business.

The question raised

Question posed: Taxation under Value Added Tax.

The DGT's ruling

Training is subject to VAT as it constitutes a business or professional activity. If provided by a natural person as a professional, it may be exempt if the subjects are included in study plans and do not require registration in business tax schedules. If provided by an organization (company), the exemption requires that it be an entity authorized for teaching and that the activity consists of the transmission of knowledge and skills, rather than being merely recreational.
