- BFH ruling dated 05.09.2024 case number V R 21/23 discusses VAT on issuing vouchers up to 2018
- Experience vouchers sold by a business where the buyer selects a specific experience are considered a taxable brokerage service under the law valid until 31.12.2018
- Taxable brokerage occurs if the business informs the event organizer about the voucher buyer or provides the buyer with the organizer’s contact details
- Brokerage requires that at least one party, either the event organizer or the voucher buyer, knows with whom they can contract for the experience
- It is insufficient for only the business selling the voucher to know the potential contracting parties
