- The reduced VAT rate does not apply to the supply of photo products featuring a customer’s iris.
- The court found that not all conditions for classification as an artwork were met, specifically the requirement for the photo product to be signed and numbered by the employee.
- Providing a separate certificate of authenticity does not count as signing and numbering the photo itself.
- Prints made abroad without the involvement of the employee also do not meet the necessary conditions.
- The appeal was dismissed; fiscal neutrality does not apply as no comparable goods qualify for the reduced rate.
