- The compensation municipalities receive for providing crisis emergency shelter to asylum seekers is not subject to VAT, as it is considered a public task.
- VAT on costs related to crisis emergency shelter cannot be deducted via VAT returns but can generally be compensated through the VAT Compensation Fund (BCF).
- Crisis emergency shelter is classified as a collective provision, not as individual services to third parties, so compensation via the BCF remains possible.
- No VAT or BCF corrections are needed for municipal real estate temporarily used for crisis emergency shelter, as long as it is not rented out exempt to the COA.
