Information about CAP-Autokoulu’s VAT rate change

The VAT rate will change from September 1, 2024

Starting in September 2024, the general VAT rate will increase from 24% to 25.5%. This change applies to all goods and services currently subject to the 24% VAT rate, including driving schools.

According to the law, VAT is applied to the tax period during which the service is performed. If a service is in progress when the VAT rate changes, the rate at the time the service is completed will be applied. We want to make this transition easier for our customers in the following ways:

Take advantage of the lower VAT rate before September 1, 2024

If you enroll in any of our courses by August 31, 2024, you will still receive the course at the 24% VAT rate, meaning at a lower price. Starting from September 1, 2024, the new increased VAT rate will apply to all our course products and services.

Get the lower VAT rate price even if you pay in installments

For those who enroll by August 31, 2024, we will apply the old lower VAT rate to our prices, regardless of the payment method you choose and the pace at which you complete the course.

For example, if you choose to pay in installments (where some payments fall under the new VAT rate period), you will still get the entire course at the lower VAT rate price. CAP-Autokoulu will cover the difference in the increased VAT on your behalf to the tax authorities.

If you opt for SVEA installment payments, the amount payable in installments will also be based on the old VAT rate, as long as the course registration and installment agreement are completed by August 31.

This ensures that you will get your course at a lower price if you register by August 31, 2024.

Current customers can complete their course at the old VAT rate

We want to ensure that our existing customers do not incur unexpected costs due to the VAT increase, even if the course is still ongoing and there are payments left.

CAP-Autokoulu will cover the VAT increase difference on behalf of our current customers who have outstanding payments after September 1. We will not charge the VAT increase separately, and previously issued invoices can be paid as is, even if their due date is after September 1.

Additional services purchased alongside an ongoing course, such as extra driving lessons, will be subject to the new VAT rate starting September 1, 2024. For those registering for driving courses from September 1 onwards, the new VAT rate will apply.

Wishing you carefree driving lessons, from the team at CAP-Autokoulu!
