- The case concerns sales of one or more of the following product types: sunscreen, fluoride-containing toothpaste, anti-dandruff shampoo, mouthwash, nasal spray containing sodium chloride, nail fungus fluid, eczema cream, zinc ointment and/or stomach tablets (the products).
- The question is what the applicable VAT rate would be for these self-care products.
- The Court of Amsterdam ruled that the general VAT rate applies because no authorization has been granted (and was not necessary for these products).
- The requirement of an authorization is not in violation of the principle of neutrality or proportionality.
