- The VAT rules for work on mixed-use buildings have changed. Before July 1, 2025, if more than 50% of a building was used for private residence, the entire building could be taxed at a 9% rate for certain works. After July 1, 2025, the 9% rate only applies to the residential part. The works include insulation, painting, plastering, wallpapering of homes older than 2 years, and cleaning of homes regardless of age. Mixed-use buildings have both residential and other functions, like commercial. From July 1, 2025, the 9% rate applies only to residential areas, while other areas are taxed at 21%. Common areas used for both purposes must be split for VAT purposes. Clients must ensure correct VAT application by identifying the functions of different spaces.
