Injectors for intraocular lens implantation subject to 21% VAT as medical instruments rather than prosthetic accessories

A company sought clarification on whether injectors used for intraocular lens implantation could qualify for the reduced 10% VAT rate. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) has ruled that, as these are instruments used across multiple patients and do not constitute prosthetic accessories, they must be taxed at the standard rate.
