Federal Fiscal Court Ruling on VAT Exemption for Disability Assistance Services Funded by Personal Budget

    The judgment from April 30, 2025, addresses the VAT exemption for assistance services for people with disabilities funded by the “Personal Budget.” The Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) ruled that such services are not automatically included in the social threshold calculation for VAT exemption if paid from the Personal Budget. However, they are included if a budget holder has an individual agreement with a cost bearer and a comprehensive plan naming the service provider. The case was sent back to the Düsseldorf Finance Court for further proceedings.
