Reduced VAT Rate: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how you can access a lower VAT rate on labor and materials for specific home renovation projects in France.
This scheme allows homeowners to pay a lower rate of value-added tax (VAT) on certain home improvement and renovation projects.
Who it's for
This is available for renovation work carried out in homes that are more than two years old.
What you get
Instead of the standard rate, you can benefit from a 10% VAT rate. This reduced rate applies to both the labor costs and the materials used for your qualifying renovation work.
What it costs you
To access this rate, you are required to sign an official document known as an attestation to confirm your eligibility.
The catch to know
The lower rate is not available for all types of home improvements; it is strictly limited to specific types of renovation work. You should confirm your project qualifies before starting.
How to apply
- Verify that your home is more than two years old.
- Confirm that your specific renovation project is on the list of eligible works.
- Obtain and sign the required attestation.
- Ensure your service provider applies the lower rate to your final invoice.
