Port Services: Mooring and Navigation Aid Fees – VAT Implications Explained

  • A nautical club provides mooring services and pays the navigation aid fee to the Port Authority on behalf of boat owners
  • The fee is passed on to customers and is subject to VAT
  • Taxes and fees included in the total amount of a transaction determine its taxability
  • The navigation aid fee should be included in the taxable base of port services, as there is a direct link between mooring services and the fee
  • Even without a direct link, the fee would still be subject to VAT as part of the overall port services provided by the entity to customers.
