By means of the Corona Tax Subsidy Act, the legislator intends to relieve the restaurant industry and the public sector from the burden of VAT. To this end, the reduced VAT rate of 7 % is to be applied to the supply of restaurant and catering services provided in the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. The transitional period in accordance with sec. 27 para. 22 of the German VAT Act for legal entities under public law as regards the application of sec. 2b of the German VAT Act will be extended by a further two years until 31 December 2022.
