SAC: VAT deductions for cultural institutions

  • Full VAT Deduction Allowed: The Supreme Administrative Court ruled on January 8, 2025, that cultural institutions, such as museums, can deduct 100% of VAT on investments related to modernization and renovation projects, without applying a pre-factor that limits VAT deductions.
  • Significance of the Ruling: This decision marks a significant departure from previous rulings that often denied full VAT deductions to cultural institutions. The Court emphasized that each case should be individually assessed, rather than adhering to a blanket assumption that cultural institutions cannot fully deduct VAT.
  • Impact on Cultural Institutions: The judgment is particularly important for museums, theatres, galleries, and similar entities, allowing them to claim full VAT deductions on expenses related to essential investments, thereby providing financial relief and encouraging further development in the cultural sector.
