- Accommodation businesses with a Simple Accommodation Tourism Business Certificate must apply a 10% VAT rate on overnight stay services.
- This 10% VAT rate applies only to businesses certified by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and only to overnight stay services (including those sold via online platforms).
- Other services (e.g., alcoholic beverages) provided by the accommodation facility are excluded from this 10% VAT and may be subject to a 20% VAT rate.
- Facilities without the required Ministry certificate must apply a 20% VAT rate on these services.
- The VAT application is based on the 3065 VAT Law and related regulations, requiring proper certification and service classification.
