Rates and VAT

The rates for the equipment levy were established by Royal Decree in implementation of the Copyright Act of 30 June 1994.

Index

Each year on 1 January the rates are adjusted to the economic index according to a standard formula. The index-adjusted rates are applied starting from 1 January for each new declaration of the devices brought onto the market in Belgium.

VAT

The VAT-rate on the equipment levy is 21%, except in a few special cases. If you do not bill the equipment levy through to your client, then the VAT is 6%. However, you must notify Reprobel of this in writing in advance.
