Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cooperative's membership fees were taxable or fell under the exemption for non-profit member services
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cooperative could not rely on the non-profit exemption because it was considered profit-oriented, but this did not end the analysis of the fees.
Extrahierte Begründung
The exemption in Art. 18 Ziff. 13 MWSTG / Art. 14 Ziff. 11 MWSTV applies only to non-profit entities; however, whether a fee is taxable still depends on whether there is a reciprocal exchange of performance.
