Transitional VAT Rules Announced for Hotel and Campsite Rate Increase Effective 1 March 2026

  • VAT rate for furnished accommodation and camping services in Belgium will increase from 6% to 12% starting 1 March 2026.

  • Operators must prove the reservation date to apply the transitional rate.
  • Additional services (e.g., laundry, wifi, parking) will also be subject to the new rate unless the transitional arrangement applies.
  • Tourist taxes passed on by the operator will also be subject to the 12% VAT rate from 1 March 2026.
