VAT Implications of Transferring a Club’s Football Operations to a GmbH with Free Facility Use

  • The free transfer of a football stand and floodlight system by a club to its wholly-owned GmbH does not constitute a taxable withdrawal under § 3 Abs. 9a UStG.
  • However, a VAT input tax adjustment under § 15a UStG may be required.
  • The case involves a non-profit sports club that built facilities, claimed input tax, and later transferred use to its GmbH for football operations without charge.
  • The tax office initially treated this as a taxable withdrawal, but this was not upheld.
