The Dutch government plans to increase the value added tax from 9 to 21 percent on accommodations, books, concerts, museums, theater performances, and events. This will bring in at least 1.2 billion euros annually starting in 2026. The low 9 percent rate will remain for campsites, cinemas, and some other forms of daily recreation. Booksellers and publishers are concerned about the increase in VAT on books, as it will lead to higher prices and lower sales. Similarly, event organizers are worried about the financial impact of higher VAT on ticket sales.
