Switzerland Proposes Extending 3.8% Accommodation VAT Rate Until 2035, Council Recommends Rejection

The Swiss Federal Council proposed extending the reduced 3.8% VAT rate for accommodation services until 31 December 2035.
The current reduced VAT rate is set to expire after 31 December 2027.
Despite the proposal, the Federal Council recommended Parliament reject the extension due to strong hotel industry performance and lack of economic justification.
The final decision on the extension will be made by Parliament.
