Discussion

April 25, 2019 | Plenary session (Chamber of representatives)

Full source


President Siegfried Bracke

The rapporteur is Mr Luk Van Biesen.

Before we begin the discussion, I would like to remind you of the arrangement we made yesterday to ⁇ not exceed the speaking time for the proposals and drafts we are still dealing with today. So, can I ask you to limit you to the essence?


Rapporteur Luk Van Biesen

Mr. Speaker, colleagues, I would like to give you a report on the work in the Committee on Finance of yesterday afternoon, where we discussed the bill proposed by Mr. Van Mechelen and other colleagues.

This is about the VAT reduction from 21% to 6% for sterilization and castration of cats.

This proposal was discussed extensively. In total, three amendments were submitted. The first amendment, submitted by Mr. Vandeput, aims to add Article 3 to the bill. That new Article 3 highlights the fact that the approval of Europe is a prerequisite for the initiation of this VAT reduction.

The second amendment was submitted by Mr Verherstraeten. With this amendment, he intends to introduce a VAT reduction from 21 to 6 % for renovation works in housing.

A third amendment was submitted by Ms. Temmerman and Mr. Corthouts. This amendment addresses the well-known problem of reducing energy VAT from 21% to 6%.

The first amendment was approved by 10 votes in favor and 3 abstentions. The other two amendments did not obtain a majority. The bill was unanimously approved by all the members present.
