- BV X was involved in manufacturing orthopedic footbeds specifically made for individual patients by an orthopedic technologist
- These footbeds were used to support the foot in cases of lost tissue structures such as bone, joint, tendon, muscle, connective tissue, and skin
- The footbeds were not considered orthopedic footwear as they were not part of a shoe
- The court ruled that loose orthopedic footbeds were not eligible for the reduced VAT rate
- A compromise was reached for 50% of the revenue from the first quarter of 2021 related to orthopedic footbeds to be eligible for the reduced rate
- The court found in favor of BV X in this case, as the text of the table post had been changed and there was confusion over the eligibility for the reduced rate in previous years.
