VAT rate for accommodation in the Netherlands to increase to 21%

From January 1, 2026, the VAT rate for the provision of accommodation will be 21%.

This change affects businesses that offer accommodation, such as hotels and holiday homes. The reduced rate of 9% can be applied to individual transactions such as access to a swimming pool or amusement park. This means that for all-inclusive prices, a split will have to be made in the fee.

The reduced VAT rate (9%) for culture, media, and sports will remain to apply from January 1, 2026.
