Sanction imposed on a colleague by Bar Association not subject to VAT

• The sanction imposed by the Bar Association on a member for committing an offense is not subject to VAT
• The sanction can consist of a temporary suspension of professional practice or a monetary fine
• The payment of the fine by the members is a disciplinary sanction, not a consideration for a taxable transaction
• The amount of the fine imposed is considered compensatory and not subject to VAT, so no tax should be charged on it.
