Chess Play Exempt from VAT as a Cultural Activity

  • A chess association asked whether membership fees and tournament entry fees could be VAT-exempt as a cultural activity.
  • The association aims to promote chess, is open to all ages and occupations, and is a member of the Danish Chess Union.
  • The Tax Council confirmed that fees paid after 1 January 2027 are VAT-exempt under Section 13(1)(6) of the Danish VAT Act.
  • The decision was based on chess being considered to have characteristics and importance similar to part of Denmark’s cultural heritage, like bridge in a prior ruling.
