Animal protection associations, legally constituted, are entitled to a VAT exemption on the purchase of dry and wet pet food, as reminded on Monday by the Tax and Customs Authority (AT).
“When purchasing food for sheltered animals, they should invoke the exemption with the seller and, if requested, present proof of being a legally constituted animal protection association,” the tax authority explained in a social media post.
Moreover, “any document confirming that animal protection is the principal activity of the association and that it is legally constituted can serve as proof (such as the registration number in the National Register of Zoophile Associations/ICNF, registration certificate, published statutes, or any other document verifying these requirements).”
This exemption is applicable until December 31, 2025, as noted by the AT.
