The Commission welcomed the decision achieved by EU Finance Ministers at the ECOFIN Council meeting in Brussels on December 7, 2021, to revise the present rules controlling VAT rates for goods and services. 

The new legislation will provide governments more freedom in applying tariffs while also guaranteeing more equity among EU Member States. At the same time, the revised rules would align VAT regulations with EU goals such as climate change, digitalization, and public health protection.

Furthermore, the regulations as they stand must be completely linked with the EU’s overall aims, since they may have a negative impact on development in such areas in some situations.

The new regulations are as follows:
