According to a decision of the Supreme Tax Court, the provision of spa facilities by a municipality does not constitute a service for consideration if the municipality collects a spa tax (visitor's tax) per day from guests staying in the municipality. However, this only applies if the obligation to pay this tax is not tied to the use of the spa facilities but rather to the stay in the municipal area and if the facilities are accessible to everyone free of charge.
