Local Burials Exempt from VAT: Legal Ruling on Municipal Funeral Services by Gazeta Prawna

• Social funerals for individuals whose families cannot afford burial costs are the responsibility of the local government
• These funerals are not subject to VAT and the municipality cannot deduct the tax from invoices for funeral services
• A municipality organized such funerals through its social assistance center, which then subcontracted the tasks to a local funeral home
• The municipality also conducted repair and construction work at a cemetery in another town, for which invoices were issued by the contractors
