EC declares that 22% VAT on Internet services must apply

This means that if Poland does not heed the Commission's words, then it will take the government to the Justice Tribunal. "The EC does not see any reason to allow Poland to apply a lower VAT rate on Internet services, as the rate applied across the EU did not slow down the growth of the sector," said EC spokesman Jonathan Todd. He added that the final price of using the net depended on market competition. The final voting in the Sejm on the issue will be held on today or on Friday. (Parkiet, p. 7) M.M.
