The 6 % reduced rate for qualifying renovation work
Some renovation work may qualify for 6 %. Conditions include mainly private residential use, first occupation at least ten calendar years before the first invoice, and eligible work supplied and invoiced to the final consumer.
Materials bought separately by the customer remain at 21 %. Not every type of work qualifies: consult the official list, particularly for fossil-fuel installations, architects and outdoor works.
Less doubt. More clarity.
