Directive 2022/542 of April 5, 2022 made it impossible to combine a reduced VAT rate on purchases with the application of a VAT mechanism on the margin made on resale. France, which until now allowed to apply a VAT rate of 5.5% on purchases and the VAT margin mechanism when reselling works of art, is obliged to comply with the European directive by 2025.
