The ECJ ruled in Case No. C-733/22 that Bulgaria’s requirement for a categorization certificate to qualify for the reduced VAT rate on hotel accommodations is prohibited by Directive 2006/112/EC. The directive prohibits such requirements and also requires adherence to the principle of fiscal neutrality.
