Commissionor Moscovici answers to letter send by MEP Sophie in 't Veld about the application of reduced VAT rates to e-publications.

In 't Veld is delighted that the Commission is finally putting an end to the different VAT treatment between paper books and e-books. ALDE has been calling for such a revision for many years. This will give a boost to the digital economy and benefit consumers.
