Outdoor Animation Show Not Considered Cinema – Subject to 21% VAT

  • An entrepreneur operates an animation studio that offers outdoor animation shows
  • The entrepreneur believed that the show should be taxed at a 9% rate, similar to a cinema
  • However, the court ruled that the show does not meet the definition of a cinema
  • The court strictly interpreted the term ‘cinema’ as a theater showing films to a paying audience
