- Belgium will increase VAT on pesticides and plant protection products from 12% to 21% starting 1 March 2026.
- VAT on furnished accommodation and camping pitches will rise from 6% to 12% from the same date.
- The changes impact businesses in the agricultural and hospitality sectors, as well as multinational groups with Belgian VAT registrations.
- Pure fertilisers remain at a 6% VAT rate, but mixed products (e.g., fertilisers with weedkiller) will be taxed at the standard rate.
- Belgium is implementing these changes ahead of an EU directive that will prohibit reduced VAT rates for chemical pesticides from 2032.
