At its meeting on 11 August 2021, the Federal Council adopted its statement for the attention of the WAK-N and, in it, speaks out against a further exemption of sports and cultural associations as well as non-profit institutions from VAT.
In April 2021, the WAK-N proposed raising the turnover threshold above which a non-profit, voluntarily run sports or cultural association or a non-profit institution becomes liable for VAT from CHF 150,000 to CHF 200,000.
The Federal Council rejects this increase, as there is already a privileged position vis-à-vis other companies.
