Impact of Delayed Belgian Programme Law on VAT Rate Changes and Housing Market

  • Amendments to VAT rates in the Belgian programme law were planned for July 2025 but have been delayed.
  • Changes include reduced VAT for rebuilt homes, increased VAT for fossil fuel burners, and increased VAT for coal.
  • The delay raises questions about the impact on these VAT changes.
  • Minister Jambon stated amendments will be made to enforce changes from the publication date in the Belgian Official Gazette.
  • No retroactive effect is planned, though some measures may allow tolerance.
  • It may be advisable to delay invoicing for rebuilt homes until VAT reductions are confirmed.
