Ten-percent VAT rate on some goods and services

With respect to the amendment to the Electronic Registration of Sales Act (the ERS or the ERS Act), an amendment to the VAT Act was approved. According to the amended VAT Act, some services and goods, such as water and sewage charges, audio books, and draft beer, were moved to the lowest, ten-percent VAT rate.

The change in the VAT rate is a part of the amendment to the ERS, and it should be effective from the same date as the amended ERS Act, most likely from 1 May 2020.
