State Secretary Van Rij of Finance reported a significant decrease in the VAT compliance gap in the Netherlands and the EU in 2021. However, the decrease may not provide an accurate picture due to uncertainties caused by the turbulent time surrounding the covid-19 pandemic. The VAT policy gap has slightly decreased in percentage terms but increased in absolute terms, mainly due to inflation. In 2021, the Dutch policy gap amounted to 49.1% (€62.9 billion), with exemptions accounting for a greater extent of the gap.
