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 risen to 20%, in accordance with the provisions of the new finance law.
What does this VAT rate on Personal Protective Equipment mean?
This increase in the VAT rate has a direct impact on the total price (including VAT) of PPE. Consequently, the overall cost of equipment necessary for workplace safety has increased since that date.
Why this change?
The reduced rate of 5.5% was introduced to facilitate access to these essential supplies, particularly during the health crisis. The end of this exceptional measure on December 31, 2024, marked the return to the standard VAT rate of 20%.
