What VAT rate should I use when invoicing?

The VAT rate for the following goods and services is as follows:

• 25,5%: Standard rate: most goods and services
• 14%: Reduced rate: food, feed, restaurants and catering services (alcohol and tobacco products are not included in this rate)

VAT is always added to invoices

Please note that VAT is always added to your invoice, even if your annual turnover is less than €15,000. We always refund the VAT added to the invoice at the beginning of the following year as tax relief.
VAT is not conducted in the licensed sectors of social and health services or on the remuneration of athletes. A performing artist or other public performer can also apply for a 14% VAT rate or carry out business activities exempt from VAT.
