VOF A organizes satsangs (individually and in groups) and Vipassana retreats .
It is in dispute whether the reduced VAT rate applies to the group satsangs and the Vipassana retreats.
The Court of Appeal of The Hague agrees with the Court of The Hague that VOF A has not demonstrated that the (multi-day) Vipassana retreats can be regarded as musical or theater performances. From the information provided by VOF A it can be deduced that the Vipassana retreats are all about conveying the message “being” and are aimed at enlightenment of consciousness.
