Confusion and Complexity: Doubts on Higher VAT Rate for Hotels and Culture

  • The High Council and the Tax Administration doubt the higher VAT rate on hotels and culture
  • Abolishing the reduced VAT rate on hotel stays and cinema tickets is expected to cause confusion
  • Exceptions to the VAT rate changes are causing uncertainty
  • The Tax Administration fears an increase in legal procedures due to the need for specific distinctions between different services
  • The government’s decisions on VAT rates for cultural goods and services seem arbitrary and lack clear reasoning
  • The changes do not appear to simplify the tax system or provide consistent taxation on various goods and services
