Implement 70/30 rule for item package deals (package deal, combined offer)

In a memo dated 22 December 2025, the Federal Ministry of Finance specified how the all-inclusive price for combined offers (food and beverages) is to be divided.

  • In the case of combined offers with food and beverages, it is to consider the beverage portion at a flat rate of 30% of the total price
  • The remaining 70% is deemed to be the price of the food and is subject to the reduced tax rate of 7%

Example:
a) Item Wedding arrangement
b) Item beverage share of 30 % and a VAT rate of 19 %
c) Item food share of 70% and a VAT rate of 7%

We recommend the following procedure for implementation in Bp Event:

Create three items

  1. Wedding arrangement
    Create a combo item and then assign the components per VAT rate and a subtotal to this item.
    Note: Assign an item group that allows for components.
  2. Wedding arrangement food
    Create another item for the meals, enter a price and the correct VAT rate (7%) for each price group.
  3. Wedding arrangement beverages
    Create another item for the beverages, enter a price and the correct VAT rate (19%) for each price group.
