The ECOFIN council has agreed a VAT directive amendment to make permanent the current minimum standard VAT rate of 15% across the EU. The directive was adopted at the council meeting on 22 June.
A 15% minimum standard rate has been maintained on a provisional basis since VAT rules for the EU single market were first applied in 1993. It was last extended in May 2016 for two years, expiring on 31 December 2017.
