All proposals for parliamentary resolutions by Citizens' proposals

In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Citizens' proposal – introduced in the Danish Parliament by 15 members from 15 parties and groups
  • What is proposed: The proposal means that teaching in movement, health and wellbeing should remain exempt from VAT after 1 January 2026.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal affects those who teach and those who take part in teaching in movement, health and wellbeing, for example yoga, mindfulness, dance, music and group classes.

What the proposal says:

  • Teaching in movement, health and wellbeing should remain exempt from VAT after 1 January 2026.
  • This applies, for example, to yoga, mindfulness, dance, music and group classes.
  • The rules that introduce VAT on leisure and group teaching should be changed so that it is treated the same as other teaching that is already VAT-exempt.
