Make the VAT of the sale of pheasants by restocking from 22 to 10 percent. The proposal of Cia-Italian Farmers Tuscany responds to numerous requests for game breeders, which, when they give up their live animals for hunting, destined for human consumption, are faced with a rate disparity, of 12 percentage points, considering that the VAT provided for products intended for human consumption is subject to a reduced rate of 10%.
A rebalancing of the VAT rate to 10% on game - underlines the Cia Toscana - would allow greater competitiveness of our farms which are currently disadvantaged compared to the rest of Europe, whereas in the rest of the European Union, game farmers are subject to a reduced VAT rate of 4 per cent or 10 per cent. It is obvious - concludes the CIA - that this disparity so obvious, places local farms at a clear disadvantage when selling game.
