The persistence of doubts about the products covered or not by the VAT exemption has led the tax present new clarification about what is included. It was already known that ‘basmati’ or ‘jasmine’ rice would not be charged VAT, and the same applies to steamed rice. As for fruit, a cantaloupe is on the list in the law and according to the AT, the same is true of melon as it is “a variety of melon, characterised by its rounded shape”.”Watermelon is not listed in Law No. 17/2023, of April 14, as it is not covered by the exemption”.
