No VAT exemption for foundation providing teachers to schools: a debatable standpoint.

  • The renting out of teachers to a primary school is considered as providing personnel, not primary school education services
  • A foundation aims to ensure the quality of education by providing highly qualified staff to educational boards
  • The foundation is not registered as an educational institution and does not have a BRIN number
  • The tax authority conducted an audit on the foundation’s VAT returns and imposed additional taxes and penalties
  • The foundation claimed that its services should be exempt from VAT as primary school education services, but the tax authority disagreed
  • The court ruled that the foundation does not meet the criteria for the VAT exemption due to lack of recognition as an educational institution
  • The court also upheld the penalties imposed by the tax authority, as the foundation did not have a valid legal argument for its position.
