  • The previous orientation that denied the exemption is now definitively outdated.
  • The nature of the medical service provided by chiropractors should be evaluated in substantial terms.
  • The exemption applies to healthcare services for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
  • Although chiropractors are considered healthcare professionals, the regulation defining their educational system has not been adopted yet.
  • Initially, the Supreme Court ruled that chiropractic services were not eligible for the VAT exemption due to the lack of implementing regulations.
  • However, a recent judgment highlighted that the substantial nature of the service should be considered.
  • The VAT exemption for chiropractic services has been confirmed by the Supreme Court.
