No Reduced VAT Rate for Household Appliance Repairs: Further Investigation Needed

• Before the Netherlands can apply a reduced VAT rate to the repair of household appliances, further research is needed
• EU member states are allowed to apply a reduced VAT rate to appliance repairs since April 6, 2022
• The Dutch government is conducting research on the possibility of applying the reduced VAT rate to more repair services
• Evaluation shows that the reduced VAT rate is partially effective but not always efficient in achieving its goals
• The decision on whether to continue with the reduced VAT rates will be left to the next government
• The current government believes it is up to the next government to decide on the use of reduced VAT rates for new goods and services based on the evaluation.
