For yoga you pay 21 percent VAT. The same goes for mindfulness and meditation, because these services are seen as luxury. But is working on your mental condition a luxury?
The VAT rate on luxury products is 21 percent. According to the initiators of the petition to lower the VAT rate on yoga, midfulness and meditation, yoga, mindfulness and meditation are not a luxury. According to them, the VAT rate should be reduced to 6 percent. Working on your mental health is important and not a luxury, it should be accessible to as many people as possible. Numerous studies have shown its positive effects. Relaxation results in less absenteeism, among other things, which will save the government a lot of costs.
Do you think the VAT rate should be lowered? Then you can sign the petition online. When 25,000 people have signed, the petition will go to the House of Representatives.
