No VAT Exemption for Services Paid from Personal Budgets, Rules Hessisches FG

  • The Hessisches FG ruled on June 11, 2024, in case number 6 K 448/21, regarding the VAT exemption under § 4 Nr. 16 UStG
  • The court decided whether services closely related to the care of needy individuals are exempt from VAT when paid from the individual’s Personal Budget instead of by social welfare agencies
  • The ruling confirmed that services paid from a needy person’s Personal Budget are not VAT-exempt due to the lack of payment by the designated social welfare agencies
  • This decision aligns with previous rulings from other financial courts on similar issues
