- The evaluation of the abolition of the reduced VAT rate on accommodation will take place in 2028.
- The VAT increase on accommodation is part of the 2025 Tax Plan and ends a long-standing fiscal benefit for the sector.
- The additional €1.1 billion in tax revenue will be used to finance a broad purchasing power package.
