Municipal Pool Service Concession and VAT Liability

  • The concession for operating municipal swimming pools awarded by a city council to a company is not subject to VAT under Article 7.9 of the Spanish VAT Law (LIVA).
  • A service contract for operating municipal swimming pools would be subject to VAT.
  • In a service concession, the contractor manages a public service in exchange for the right to exploit it, and the operational risk is transferred to the concessionaire.
  • The arrangement may also be a demanial concession, which would not follow public procurement rules.
  • In service contracts, the public administration retains the operational risk and acts as an entrepreneur/professional, so the non-taxable treatment of Article 7.9 LIVA does not apply.
