Campsite owners are concerned about the increase in VAT for lodging to 21 percent, while the tax rate for camping remains at 9 percent. This creates uncertainty about which VAT rates apply. The situation is complex for campsite owners who have cottages, bungalows, and camping pitches. They are hesitant to increase rent due to existing cost increases, fearing that it may deter guests and negatively impact the campsite’s surroundings. Additionally, offering more traditional camping spots is not feasible as renting out cottages is more profitable and suitable for less sunny periods.
