- The Dutch government has proposed expanding the VAT revision rules to include certain investment services related to real estate, such as renovations, starting in 2026. This aims to prevent tax-saving strategies where VAT on renovation costs is fully reclaimed, even when the property is later rented VAT-exempt. The proposal affects organizations like healthcare, education, housing corporations, and cultural institutions. The revision will apply to services with multi-year use and a value above a threshold, tentatively set at €30,000, with a revision period of five years. The changes will require adjustments in VAT claims based on the actual use of the service.
