VAT Increase on Temporary Lodging in The Netherlands
As of 1 January 2026, the Dutch government has increased VAT on certain lodging from 9% to 21%. This concerns the following types of temporary lodging:
- Hotels
-
Holiday homes
-
Serviced apartments
-
Bed and breakfasts
-
Airbnb properties
-
Hostels
-
Rental properties from booking platforms
-
Fully furnished trailers
The only exception is campgrounds, where you bring your own trailer or tent, which are still at a 9% VAT. There is no VAT on long-term rents.
If a property has already been booked in 2025 but will only be used in 2026, the new 21% VAT applies.
