How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
Telecare, home help, day/night center, and residential care services are taxed at 4% if provided through concerted places or administrative contracts with prices fixed by the Administration. The 4% rate also applies if there is a linked economic provision covering more than 10% of the price. In a private, non-concerted regime with freely agreed prices, the applicable rate is 10%.
The DGT's position remains stable at the core of the criterion. The evolution is limited to the precision of the thresholds for the linked economic provision for the application of the reduced rate. It has moved from a 75% threshold in 2015 to a 10% threshold in 2022.
Turning points
-
Introduces a lower threshold for the application of the 4% rate, allowing it if the linked economic provision covers more than 10% of the price.
