From July 1 the VAT on dance events drops from 25 to 6 percent. Many non-profit organizers remain unaffected and several VAT-liable ones keep prices unchanged.

The new VAT rate applies to dance band events and aligns them with concerts and theater. Non-profit association organizers are unaffected because they are not VAT liable.

K-G Johansson at Lilltorpet in Falun and Bertil Elfström from Dansbandsveckan in Malung confirm the decision leaves their operations unchanged. They view the cut as positive for the industry yet irrelevant to them.

Hjortnäs Brygga in Leksand is VAT liable. Anders Back states entrance fees stay the same so the operation can break even rather than lose money.
