The same VAT rate for print and e-publications

At a Glance 24-05-2017

On 1 December 2016, the European Commission adopted a proposal on value added tax (VAT) on books, newspapers and periodicals, which would amend the VAT Directive and broaden the possibility to apply reduced rates to all publications, be they print or digital. For this consultation procedure, the report is scheduled to be voted in plenary in May.
