- Hotels are lowering room prices but increasing prices for breakfast and amenities to offset the upcoming VAT hike.
- From January 1, 2026, VAT on hotel stays will rise from 9% to 21%, but VAT on extras like breakfast and pools remains at 9%.
- Hotels must specify to tax authorities how much of the total price is for the room versus extras.
- By charging more for extras and less for the room, hotels reduce the VAT impact and limit price increases for customers.
