There is “no scope” to change the 20% VAT rate on e-books, the UK government said this week. A parliamentary question from Tom Harris, Labour MP for Glasgow South, on whether the government has carried out any assessments of the impact of the e-book market on publishers, authors and readers solicited the following response from the Treasury’s Exchequer Secretary David Gauke: “The sale of a digital book is classified as an electronic service and attracts the standard rate of VAT under EU law. Legal advice obtained by the government indicates there is no scope to change the VAT treatment of the sale of digital book and similar products under EU law. As such, no assessments have been made of the type referred to by the honourable member.” Gauke reiterated the line that EU law prevents it from lowering the VAT rate on e-books despite the fact that France and Luxembourg have already flouted the rule and Germany is considering lowering VAT on e-books to 7%, as it recently has on audiobooks. Print books in the UK have a 0% VAT rate.
