Protective Shields Against Radiation Not Eligible for 5% VAT, Must Apply Standard 22% Rate

• 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.
