As of 1 January 2019 the reduced rate for VAT is to be increased from 6% to 9%.

A business applying the reduced VAT rate on supplies of goods and services will have to prepare for the change. The rate change will require internal changes (the administrative system) and external adjustments (for example the pricing of services and products).
