The Federal Ministry of Finance’s letter on the VAT exemption for cost sharing groups, in accordance with sec. 4 no. 29 of the German VAT Act, is finally coming. Although it is still a draft letter, the Federal Ministry of Finance seems to be in the mood for Christmas. The Federal Ministry of Finance’s current point of view gives hope that at least some forms of cooperation will, in future, be able to take place without additional VAT charges. This applies, in particular, to groups of public bodies and non-profit institutions.
