VAT Rate for Wildlife Sales to Agricultural Businesses Engaged in Hunting Activities

  • The request concerns the VAT rate for the sale of wild animals to agricultural businesses involved in hunting activities
  • Agricultural entrepreneurs engage in hunting activities authorized by regional laws
  • Two types of hunting management can be authorized: wildlife-hunting companies and agri-tourism-hunting companies
  • Wildlife-hunting companies focus on conservation and environmental restoration, while agri-tourism-hunting companies are for agricultural purposes
  • Both types of companies can introduce and hunt wild animals on their land
  • They can purchase wild animals for restocking or breeding for hunting purposes
  • The question is whether the reduced 10% VAT rate applies to the sale of wild animals for hunting and consumption by hunters
  • The interpretation suggests that the 10% VAT rate applies to sales of wild animals to agricultural entrepreneurs
