How to calculate and prepare for the VAT increase

How do I calculate my new prices including 21% VAT?

Would you like to keep the same net amount after the VAT increase as you do now?

Then first calculate the price excluding 9% VAT, and then add 21% VAT to that net amount.

Step 1: Remove the current 9% VAT from your price

Net price = current price ÷ 1.09

Step 2: Add 21% VAT to that net amount

New price (incl. 21% VAT) = net price × 1.21

Example:

Current price incl. 9% VAT: €109

Net price = €109 ÷ 1.09 = €100

New price incl. 21% VAT = €100 × 1.21 = €121

This way, you keep the same net earnings as before.

What can I do myself to reduce the impact?

• Check whether you are VAT-liable.

• Optimize your listing (photos, description, amenities) to stay attractive to guests.

• Test different prices to see how guests respond.

• Adjust your prices in your listing in time.
