A landmark ruling in the European courts could mean that clubs will soon be able to claim back VAT.
Bridport and West Dorset golf club won its case on charging VAT on green fees to non-members in the European Courts.
The ruling means that not-for-profit golf clubs will be eligible to claim back VAT that has been paid by non-members on their green fees .
While this is a significant development within the golf sector, it could also impact on other not-for-profit sports clubs offering more casual pay and play sporting services to non-members and members, for example pay and play tennis.
The Alliance will continue to monitor developments in this area and we will work with our tax advisors to examine the implications for the sector.
In the meantime, if you have any questions contact David Foster.
