- The main question is whether tuition and course fees paid by students, or government contributions, constitute direct consideration for education.
- The assessment should be made for the group of students as a whole, not per individual.
- Tuition/course fees are not considered direct consideration for education due to their age dependency and limited connection to the actual education received.
- The government contribution is seen as direct consideration for the education provided to the group of students and is sufficiently cost-covering.
- Course fees, in conjunction with the government contribution, can be considered part of the remuneration for the economic activity, but tuition fees alone are not.
