Medical Service VAT Exemption: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if your medical clinic qualifies for VAT exemption on treatment fees and understand the requirements for this status.

This scheme allows certain healthcare providers to avoid paying Value Added Tax (VAT) on the fees charged for medical treatments.

Who it's for

This exemption is available to licensed medical clinics. To qualify, your facility must be a recognized medical provider operating under the necessary professional licenses required for your specific practice.

What you get

Qualified clinics receive an exemption from VAT on the fees charged for medical treatments. This benefit is designed to apply specifically to the costs associated with providing medical services.

What it costs you

While there is no direct fee to qualify for this status, there are administrative requirements to maintain it. You will need to manage revenue reporting as part of your regular tax obligations to ensure your clinic remains compliant with the rules set by the National Tax Service.

The catch to know

The exemption is not all-encompassing. It does not apply to non-medical services or cosmetic services. You must ensure that only services meeting the medical criteria are processed under this exemption.

How to apply

  1. Confirm that your clinic holds the appropriate medical licenses.
  2. Review your service types to distinguish between medical treatments and non-medical services.
  3. Prepare your financial documentation for revenue reporting.
  4. Consult the official National Tax Service guidelines for the specific filing process.
