Question for written answer E-000117-16
to the Commission
Rule 130
Christofer Fjellner (PPE)
The Commission Work Programme 2016 mentions initiatives on VAT rates in the context of the Digital Single Market. Will these initiatives address the disparity in tax treatment between electronic books and print books, the latter of which are subject to a reduced rate of VAT?
What is the timeline expected for these initiatives?
