Court Rules Reduced VAT Rate Applicable to Zundert Flower Parade Tickets for 2023

  • The court in Breda ruled on the VAT rate for tickets to a flower parade in 2023.
  • VAT specialists supported the Zundert flower parade in the case.
  • The court decided the parade did not strictly fall under music or theatrical performances for reduced VAT.
  • A decision by the secretary of state allowed the parade to apply the reduced VAT rate as cultural entertainment.
  • The ruling was based on the situation in 2023, before a clarification in 2025 excluded flower parades from reduced VAT.
  • The outcome was considered a success for the Zundert flower parade.
