Short-Stay Apartment Rentals: VAT-Taxable, Court Rules

  • A VAT entrepreneur owns a building and splits it into seven apartments and a shop in 2021.
  • From the third quarter of 2022, the apartments are fully furnished and rented for a maximum of six months.
  • The municipality has assigned a residential function to the apartments.
  • The inspector states that the rental is VAT exempt.
  • The VAT entrepreneur believes that the short stay exception applies, making the rental subject to VAT and entitling him to input tax deduction.
  • Zeeland-West-Brabant Court agrees with the entrepreneur.
  • The rental is comparable to rental by hotel and holiday accommodation businesses.
