Zero VAT rate for (electronic) newspapers not permitted and not an efficient tool
On 20 April 2021, the Minister for Education sent a letter to the Lower House containing an inventory of the options available to support the written press.
The letter contains an explanation of the application of direct aid measures, a zero VAT rate and aid for distribution in Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. In addition, an explanation of the application of competition policy in the newspaper sector within the EU. The letter concludes with an appreciation of the measures considered in the Dutch context.
