16. 01. 2025.
From January 1, 2025, a VAT rate of 15% has been introduced, which applies to certain products and services that were previously taxed at 7% and partially at 21%.
What does this mean for you?
If you are a business owner engaged in the sale of books, monographic and serial publications, adjust the VAT rate to 15%. The same applies to copyrights and services in the fields of education, literature, and art, as well as tickets for cultural events—cinemas, theaters, concerts, museums, and even sports events. The rate increase also covers services related to the use of sports facilities for non-profit purposes, as well as those provided in marinas.
From January 1, 2025, even hairdressing services and solar panels will fall under this average rate.
The hospitality sector, which has already felt the brunt of the pandemic, is also facing changes. Accommodation services in hospitality establishments, as well as food and beverage services—except alcohol, sugary drinks, and coffee—have also shifted to the 15% rate.
For many businesses, this is not just a figure on paper but a real challenge to business sustainability.
It is crucial to adapt to the new conditions to ensure your business remains competitive and stable.
