- Cryptocurrency exchange services (fiat to crypto or crypto to fiat) are VAT-exempt because cryptocurrencies are treated as means of payment.
- Externalized payment services can also be VAT-exempt if they involve transferring funds and changing the legal and financial position of the parties.
- For exemption, the provider must act in its own name and be responsible for the essential and specific functions of the payment service.
- Services limited to administrative tasks such as ordering transfers, verifying payments, sending settlement files, or generating statements are not exempt.
- The key distinction is whether the service performs the actual payment function or only supports it administratively.
