Questione giuridica chiave
Whether services rendered by an AHV compensation fund in its transferred sphere are exempt from VAT under Art. 14 No. 7 MWSTV.
Decisione estratta
No. Services in the transferred sphere to affiliated or third institutions are not services of social security within the meaning of the exemption and are taxable.
Motivazione estratta
The exemption is interpreted restrictively. The relevant services are preparatory inputs for the recipients and, if performed by a private undertaking, would be taxable; the fact that the recipient is a social insurance institution does not itself create an exemption.
