Tax classification of online event services and other online service offerings – BMF

  • Online event services and other online services are increasingly being offered in various fields such as art, culture, science, education, sports, and entertainment
  • Different forms of online events are being offered, including live streaming, on-demand access to recordings, and pre-recorded content
  • The tax treatment of these online services, including potential exemptions or reductions, needs to be clarified
  • For online event services in the B2C sector, especially in the field of art and culture, specific guidelines apply
  • Providing pre-recorded event recordings for on-demand access is considered an electronically supplied service
  • Distribution and re-distribution of pre-recorded content online is considered a broadcasting service rather than an electronically supplied service
