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

A professional has enquired whether providing mindfulness courses is exempt from VAT. The DGT indicates that the activity is subject to the tax, but analyses two potential routes for exemption depending on whether the activity is carried out as a professional or as a business.

The question raised

Question raised: Exemption from Value Added Tax.

The DGT's ruling

The activity of providing mindfulness courses is subject to VAT. If carried out as a professional, the exemption under Art. 20.One.10º requires that the classes be in subjects included in official curricula and that registration in the business activity tariff is not required. If carried out as a company, the exemption under Art. 20.One.9º requires being an entity authorized for teaching and that the activity is not merely recreational. If these requirements are not met, the general rate of 21% shall apply.
