Miljoenen extra btw voor Zorg en Onderwijs

Rotterdam, 27 februari 2012. De Belastingdienst heft steeds vaker btw over doorbelastingen bij samenwerkende non-profitorganisaties, zoals zorg- en onderwijsinstellingen. De voorwaarden om btw-vrij door te belasten zijn onlangs zo ver aangescherpt dat in de praktijk bijna altijd 19% btw over doorbelastingen verschuldigd zal zijn. De verscherpte voorwaarden zorgen ervoor dat non-profitorganisaties gezamenlijke kosten niet of nauwelijks meer kunnen delen zonder dat btw-schade ontstaat. De Btw-vakgroep van Mazars verwacht dat de sector nu miljoenen meer aan btw moet gaan betalen en roept op tot een veel coulanter beleid.
