No Reduced VAT Rate for Rental of Polyvalken and Cabin Sailboats

  • A rents out polyvalken and cabin sailboats from a marina that also functions as a transient harbor.
  • The question is whether A’s rental of the boats qualifies as providing an opportunity for sports activities and therefore qualifies for a reduced VAT rate.
  • The court determines that the facilities provided by A, such as moorings, sanitary facilities, and other amenities, do not qualify as a sports facility.
  • These facilities are primarily for boat storage and user comfort, rather than for sports activities.
  • Therefore, the court concludes that A’s rental service does not qualify for the reduced VAT rate for sports activities.
