Tour guide services provided to a non-established entrepreneur in Spain are not subject to VAT

A tour guide enquires whether services provided to a foreign company are subject to VAT and if input VAT can be deducted. The DGT rules that the provision is not subject to tax due to the location of the recipient, and that the right to deduction will depend on meeting legal requirements.

The question raised

Question raised: Whether the service is subject to Value Added Tax. Deductibility of the VAT incurred for the provision of the service.

The DGT's ruling
