Questão jurídica principal
Whether the roundwood levy credited to WVS qualifies as tax-free membership dues under Art. 66(1) DBG
Decisão extraída
The levy is a membership contribution to the extent it is paid by WVS members and actually accrues to WVS; it is taxable only insofar as it is paid by non-members.
Fundamentação extraída
The levy is statutorily based, charged uniformly according to turnover, and not paid in exchange for services or for members' personal interests. It therefore falls within the notion of membership dues, despite the exact amount being fixed by SHF regulations rather than directly in the statutes.
