Older residential properties
The Dutch Tax Administration describes a reduced VAT rate of 9% for qualifying painting work on homes older than two years. Its guidance covers relevant preparation and materials within the qualifying painting service.
Separate other renovation work
The same rate does not automatically apply to every repair or building task carried out at the property. Ask the contractor to distinguish work that has a different VAT treatment.
Verify the current conditions
Use the official Belastingdienst guidance for painting and work on homes older than two years. The property's use and the exact service matter; this page is general information rather than a determination of an individual invoice.
