The reduced VAT rate of 10% applies to maritime excursions and passenger transport by boat

A natural person inquires which VAT rate applies to maritime excursion services, diving, and boat transport without disembarkation. The DGT determines that the reduced rate of 10% applies as it is considered passenger transport.

The question raised

Question posed: Type of Value Added Tax applicable to said services.

The DGT's ruling

Maritime excursions that include diving or water sports without disembarkation at the destination are subject to the reduced rate of 10% as passenger transport. However, if third-party means are used and a composite trip is constituted, the special regime for travel agencies with the general rate of 21% shall apply. In that case, the services acquired by the entity for said regime shall indeed be taxed at 10%.
