After nearly four years of discussion, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) approved a VAT rate reform. Under the new rules, EU Member States will be allowed to apply two reduced rates of at least 5% to 24 goods and services. Additionally, every Member State will be able to apply reduced rates lower than 5% to seven out of the 24 product categories.
