- The Dutch government says it currently cannot lower VAT on veterinary care to 0%.
- EU VAT rules do not allow a zero rate for veterinary services at present.

- The government notes that reduced VAT rates often do not reliably lead to lower consumer prices.
- It will focus instead on market functioning, price transparency, and access to veterinary care.
