Change in VAT for the Hospitality and Leisure Sector as of April 1st

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the government implemented reduced VAT rates to raise revenue and keep companies afloat. The following industries were affected by the decreased VAT rate:

  • Hospitality
  • Hotels and vacation rentals
  • Specific attractions admissions

The original application for the 5% rate expired on September 30, 2021. Following that, the 12.5 percent VAT rate was implemented, with the tax’s applicability ending on March 31, 2022.

The regular rate of 20% VAT will be reinstated on 1 April 2022 for the supply of hospitality, hotel and vacation accommodation, and entrance to selected attractions and events. Businesses who are presently using the lower rate must guarantee that they are ready for the VAT rate increase to 20% on April 1, 2022. Businesses may need to make modifications and revise their VAT accounting methods and financial models as a result of this.
