- The Dutch Order of Tax Advisors has published a response to the internet consultation on ‘VAT revision services to immovable property’
- The proposed measure aims to create a level playing field for entrepreneurs renting out immovable property by preventing less VAT from being paid through a ‘short stay structure’
- The new rule requires entrepreneurs to repay VAT on services to immovable property if the building’s use changes from VAT-taxable to VAT-exempt
- The NOB appreciates some aspects of the proposal but raises concerns about its broad impact beyond just properties converted into homes
- The NOB questions whether the measure should apply to other types of entrepreneurs and properties, and suggests alternative approaches to limit unintended consequences.
