You usually do not have to calculate VAT on subsidies, compensation and voluntary contributions. The amount you receive is not a direct payment for your work. Is there a direct link between these payments and your work? Then you do calculate VAT.
Will you receive € 190 in energy compensation in November and December 2022 due to the temporary price cap bridging scheme? This is regarded as an untaxed subsidy for VAT purposes. This means that you do not have to pay VAT on this.
