No Reduced VAT Rate for ‘Smart’ Incontinence System, Zeeland-West-Brabant Court, 26 January 2024

  • X is a supplier of a system called ‘smart’ incontinence material that aims to improve incontinence care for clients.
  • The system provides insight into the status of the incontinence pad, allowing caregivers to change clients when necessary.
  • The goal is to prevent both late and unnecessary changes, improving the quality of care and reducing the use of incontinence pads.
  • X argues that they provide one product, incontinence material, which qualifies for the reduced VAT rate.
  • The court, however, determines that the system consists of two separate services: the supply of incontinence pads (eligible for the reduced rate) and the ‘smart function’ (considered a service and not eligible for the reduced rate).
