New category: cultural expenses
New eligible expenses include:
- Books;
- Cultural events;
- Museums and heritage sites.
Tax benefit
Taxpayers can deduct:
- 15% of VAT paid
With a global cap of €250.
When does it apply?
- Available from April 2026
- Applies to 2026 expenses

Why validation matters
Failure to validate invoices may lead to loss of deductions and higher tax liability.
