State Secretary of Finance Vijlbrief sends the House of Representatives answers to questions about the VAT reduction on e-books.
The purpose of the measure is primarily to create a level playing field in theVAT treatment of physical books, newspapers and magazines and the via electronically delivering the digitized content thereof.

However, as before companies themselves are responsible for determining their pricing policy and the government does not have any instruments to force them.
