- ‘Head spa’ treatments are not considered standard hairdressing services by the tax authorities.
- Therefore, barbers and hairdressers cannot apply the reduced 9% VAT rate to these treatments.
- Only typical hairdressing services like cutting, washing, coloring, and perming hair qualify for the reduced VAT rate.
- ‘Head spa’ treatments focus mainly on scalp and body care, not just hair, and are seen as wellness or body care services.
- These treatments must be taxed at the general VAT rate, not the reduced rate for hairdressing.
