On the basis of the Decree excluding VAT deduction 1968 (hereinafter: ‘the BUA’), the VAT on costs related to the provision of accommodation for staff can be excluded from deduction.

The Supreme Court has recently ruled on this problem in the situation in which an employment agency offers temporary accommodation to foreign temporary workers. If there are special circumstances that force the employment agency to interweave workers abroad, the VAT on the accommodation costs may still be eligible for deduction.
