End to different VAT paper books and e-books

Met dank overgenomen van S.H. (Sophie) in 't Veld i, gepubliceerd op vrijdag 28 oktober 2016.

Commissionor Moscovici answers to letter send by MEP Sophie in 't Veld about the application of reduced VAT rates to e-publications.

In 't Veld is delighted that the Commission is finally putting an end to the different VAT treatment between paper books and e-books. ALDE has been calling for such a revision for many years. This will give a boost to the digital economy and benefit consumers.
