- The Dutch Tax Authority has announced a change regarding VAT for employee benefits or gifts.
- Until January 1, 2024, businesses could deduct the employee’s contribution (excluding VAT) from their expenses.
- If the expenses fell below the BUA threshold of €227 (excluding VAT), the VAT could be deducted.
- However, starting from January 1, 2024, businesses will no longer be able to deduct the employee’s contribution from their expenses when calculating the BUA threshold.
- The total expenses will now be compared to the threshold, as determined by the VAT Act.
