Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the variable membership contributions were true members' fees exempt from VAT and excluding input tax deduction, or taxable consideration for individualized services.
Decisione estratta
The variable contributions were true membership fees within Art. 14 No. 11 MWSTV; they were owed under the statutes on a uniform basis for each member category and financed statutory activities benefiting all members collectively.
Motivazione estratta
There was no individualized exchange linked to a specific member or special service. The association acted as a non-profit body, and both fixed and variable contributions were statutorily due regardless of any individual benefit. Its activities served the common interest of all members.
