New VAT Rates
The press has reported extensively on the government's plans to adjust several VAT rates as part of the multi-year budget.
While some rates are still being developed, the texts for others are ready. We will see the following rate increases starting from 1 March 2026:
- from 6% to 12% for services that provide furnished accommodation and for making campsites available,
- from 12% to 21% for the supply of pesticides and, more generally, for phytopharmaceutical products
As 1 March 2026 approaches, the FPS Finance has published two FAQs today regarding both increases.
- FAQ on services that provide furnished accommodation and make campsites available
- FAQ on phytopharmaceutical products
These FAQ are currently only available in French and Dutch.
These FAQs have been created by the FPS Finance based on the draft royal decree submitted for signature to the king. The content is therefore subject to the publication of the aforementioned royal decree.
By publishing these FAQs, the FPS aims to help entrepreneurs, their chartered accountants, and software companies prepare for this rate change.
