The Finnish government recently released a draft bill proposing an increase on the reduced VAT rates applied to specific supplies from the 10% category to the 14% category.
If accepted this new rate will apply to:
- Accommodation services
- Admission to cultural events
- Books
- Cultural and sports activities
- Imported artworks
- Medicines
- Passenger transport services
The bill also proposes a VAT rate reduction on menstrual pads, incontinence pads and child diapers from the standard rate of 24% (due to increase to 25.5% from September 2024) to 14%.
