Heating and domestic hot water supplies must be taxed at the standard 21% VAT rate

A heat and hot water production cooperative enquired whether it could apply the reduced 5% VAT rate to its energy supplies following the temporary reduction of rates for fuels. The Directorate-General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that while the 5% reduced rate applies to the delivery of pellets, it does not apply to the heating supply service that uses said pellets as fuel.
