Austrian TOMS is extended to B2B supplies
TOMS in Austria was only applicable on supplies to private individuals. However, from 1 January 2016, this regime will also apply when the customer is a VAT registered business (B2B).
The Tour Operator Margin Scheme is usually known by the abbreviated term TOMS. This scheme simplifies the way VAT is accounted by businesses that buy-in and resell hotel, accommodation, and other travel services in their own name. Businesses using TOMS do not recover VAT on their purchases and only account for VAT on the margin between the cost and the sale price.
