Expansion of VAT exemption for adult education institutions through comparable certification programs

  • The decision was made by the Administrative Court on September 6, 2023.
  • The case number is Ro 2021/15/0021.
  • The wording “jede andere vergleichbare behördliche Zertifizierung” in Z 9 of § 1 UStBLV 2018 allows for opening up to comparable certification programs of other member states for adult education institutions.
  • It also allows for an extension of the VAT exemption beyond the scope of adult education institutions with corresponding certification evidence.
  • The key factor is that the private educational institution can demonstrate a level of quality in its field of activity that is equivalent to certified adult education institutions.
  • The certification system specified in § 1 Z 7 UStBLV 2018 serves as the primary reference point for such a comparability assessment.
  • The European Case Law Identifier for this decision is ECLI:AT:VWGH:2023:RO2021150021.J02.
