- Reduced VAT rate of 4 percent applies only to contracts for removing architectural barriers, not for simple supply and installation.
- The Italian Revenue Agency confirmed this in response to a recent inquiry.
- The rule is based on the nature of the service, not the buyer’s status.
- The reduced rate is for services under a contract, not just product supply with installation.
- The distinction between a contract and installation depends on the contractual obligations.
- Without specific contractual obligations, it is considered a sale of goods, even with installation.
