- The Dutch government planned to raise VAT from 9% to 21% for accommodation, culture, media, and sports.
- This plan was partially reversed: from January 1, 2026, only accommodation will have a 21% VAT rate.
- Culture, media, and sports will keep the reduced 9% VAT rate.
- The change aims to protect cultural and sports sectors from higher costs.
- The accommodation sector is expected to face higher prices due to the VAT increase.
