Greece cuts restaurant and hotel VAT

  • May 10, 2019 | Richard Asquith

The Greek government has proposed cutting VAT on a number of services:

  • Food and drink services from the standard 23% rate to the reduced 13%. 
  • Hotel and accommodation services from 13%
  • Domestic gas and electricity VAT will be reduced from 13% to 6%

The measures will have to be approved by parliament, and would become effective on 1 May 2019.
