The crossing of the Wadden Sea for sporting performance is considered a sport according to the VAT Act 1968. X, a non-profit foundation, organizes intensive walking tours in the area, focusing on sporting performance, and is exempt from sales tax. The crossing is physically intensive and requires a good level of fitness. Although walking on the mudflats is not typically considered a sport, the specific crossing of the Wadden Sea is colloquially regarded as a sport due to its focus on sporting performance.
