No SPUK-Sport Subsidy for Physical Education Use of Sports Facilities, Rules Council of State

• The Council of State ruled that the use of sports facilities for physical education is not eligible for subsidy under the SPUK-Sport scheme for 2022.
• The exclusion is based on the scheme’s own rules and the distinction between “sport” and “physical education” in tax legislation.
• Costs for physical education fall under the VAT education exemption, not the expanded sports exemption.
• A mistakenly reported expenditure of over €90,000 for physical education is not eligible for subsidy due to late disclosure and procedural rules.
• Municipalities must consider this ruling for future SPUK-Sport applications; physical education-related expenses remain excluded.
