If so, watch out when indicating the VAT rate on your invoices. As you probably know, the rate is 21% for new constructions and 6% for renovation work. However, this reduced rate of 6% is subject to certain conditions and only applies to individuals. Another tip: think about using the \u2018VAT co-contractor\u2019 regime (reverse charge) if your (end) client has a VAT number. This article explains everything about the VAT rates to apply in construction.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>VAT rates for private clients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you carrying out work for a private client? Generally speaking, you\u2019ll be applying a&nbsp;<strong>VAT rate of 21%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the building at least 10 years old and is primarily intended for residential use? In this case, you can&nbsp;<strong>carry out most renovation work at a reduced VAT rate of 6%.<\/strong>&nbsp;Any work involving the transformation, repair and maintenance of a property is considered \u2018renovation\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reduced VAT rate of 6% is, however, subject to certain conditions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The building is at least 10 years old;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The end client is a private individual;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You supply and place the materials yourself (DIYers who do the work themselves still pay 21% on building materials);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You invoice the end client directly;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most of the existing load-bearing walls are preserved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6% VAT rate also applies to the installation of a heat pump, solar panels or a solar water heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exceptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain work is excluded from the 6% regime:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cleaning work is not considered as part of renovation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work related to your garden, such as landscaping work (of a terrace, for example), fencing or even the construction of a swimming pool or sauna, are subject to 21% VAT;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kitchen appliances and light fixtures that are not fully integrated into the ceiling are subject to 21% VAT;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When renovating, existing load-bearing walls should be preserved as much as possible. Otherwise, the renovation comes too close to the category of \u2018demolition\/reconstruction\u2019. And in this case, it can be considered as a new construction, which is subject to 21% VAT.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/finances.belgium.be\/fr\/particuliers\/habitation\/renovation-taux-tva#q2\"><em>Source:\u00a0FPS Finance<\/em><\/a><em> (page in French\/Dutch\/German)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Applying the reduced VAT rate of 6% to your invoice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a contractor or construction professional, you are responsible for the accuracy of your invoices and the VAT rate you apply.
