02/07/2008 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission has published a list of the different rates of value added tax (VAT) applicable in the EU member states from 1 July 2008 on its website. Alongside the normal VAT rates they show the reduced or super-reduced zero “parking rates” applicable to certain labour-intensive services or taking account of certain geographical features. The Commission will present a draft directive on Monday 7 July suggesting among other things the application of reduced rates of VAT to the housing sector (see EUROPE 9691).
