- Protective shields against X-ray radiation used in diagnostic and interventional procedures are not eligible for the 5% VAT rate.
- The 5% VAT rate applies only to a specific, exhaustive list of goods necessary for COVID-19 containment and management, as outlined in the relevant legislation.
- Protective shields are classified under code NC 9022 90, which is not included in the list of goods eligible for the reduced VAT rate.
- Only certain devices, such as CT scanners (TARIC ex 902212), benefit from the reduced VAT rate.
- Therefore, sales of protective shields against radiation are subject to the standard 22% VAT rate.
