Since January 1, 2025, the VAT rate applicable to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has increased significantly. Previously set at 5.5%, this rate has now increased to 20%, in accordance with the provisions of the new Finance Act.
What does this mean?
This increase in the VAT rate has a direct impact on the all-tax-inclusive (TTC) selling price of PPE. As a result, the overall cost of equipment needed for workplace safety has increased since that date.
Why this change?
The reduced rate of 5.5% was introduced to promote access to this essential equipment, particularly in the context of the health crisis. The end of this exceptional measure on December 31, 2024, marked the return to the standard VAT rate of 20%.
