- The Italian Revenue Agency issued Resolution No. 59 which examines the VAT rate applicable to pet litter and provides general guidelines that may also affect other categories of goods
- The document clarifies that the VAT rate should be determined based on the functional purpose of the product rather than the materials it is made from such as plant-based products or wood
- Pet litters are not mentioned in any of the tables attached to DPR 633/72 which specify reduced VAT rates nor do they fit the definitions in Annex III of Directive 2006/112/EC
- Therefore, pet litters should be sold with the standard VAT rate
