As you know, new VAT rates have been in force since January 1, 2024. These are: standard VAT rate 8.1 % (previously 7.7 %), reduced rate 2.6 % (previously 2.5 %) and special rate for accommodation services 3.8 % (previously 3.7 %) as well as various changes under the net tax rate and lump-sum tax rate regime. In many cases, a VAT rate change is unproblematic and is implemented to the extent that the VAT rates on the invoices are adjusted. However, there are also constellations that are not quite so easy to handle and have different accounting and contractual effects depending on the specific case.
