Grünstadt bowlers in a dispute: How to celebrate without a club restaurant?

The Grünstadt Bowling Association (KVV) is currently facing a delicate situation. There has been a legal dispute with the owner of the club restaurant, which has been open to members and guests since 2005, for some time now. These disputes have not only restricted the restaurant's opening hours, but are also causing additional costs for the club and leading to a rapid decline in rental income. Like those already Rhine Palatinate reported, the situation has a direct impact on the upcoming anniversary of the KVV.

Such an anniversary is a reason to celebrate for many clubs, but under these circumstances the question arises: How should the KVV even organize its celebration? With limited opening hours and an unclear view of the future, the current situation makes it anything but easy for those responsible. In addition, the tax conditions for a self-operated catering business are much more complex than for a leased restaurant.

The tax aspects of catering in the club

Many clubs are faced with the choice of running their own restaurant themselves or leasing it out. This decision-making process has far-reaching tax consequences that can impact the club's economic situation. When leasing, the rental income counts as income from asset management, while an in-house restaurant is subject to tax. This means that the KVV generally has tax advantages with its rental income from leasing the restaurant. It has these details Club world explained in detail.

Another point is the question of whether a fixed or turnover-dependent lease should be agreed. The advantage of a fixed lease is obvious: it enables regular income, while sales-dependent lease models are often more difficult to understand and therefore more uncertain. Especially in times of crisis, clubs should carefully consider which model is sustainable in the long term. In addition, the tax framework is important for all clubs that run a restaurant in accordance with Section 64 (3) AO in order to avoid unpleasant surprises. This also raises the Haufe out.

However, if the KVV wants to host its 50th anniversary next year, the course must be set quickly. The restricted opening hours could have a negative impact on the festival and dampen members' anticipation. With a clear head, managers are now required to plan the next steps precisely and find solutions that do justice to everyone involved.

At a time when community and cohesion are so important, it remains to be hoped that the Grünstadt Bowling Association will find a solution that will enable them to both resolve the legal dispute and celebrate their anniversary in all its glory. It remains to be seen what will happen next and what costs the club will ultimately have to bear in order to get back into calmer waters.
