21% VAT rate applied to vocal resonance tube as it is not listed in the Annex of the Law

A speech therapist inquired whether their glass vocal resonance tube could be taxed at the reduced VAT rate of 10%. The DGT ruled that the general rate of 21% must apply because the product does not fall under the categories of medical equipment or products for disabilities specified in the Annex of the Law.

The question raised

Question raised: Tax rate applicable for Value Added Tax purposes to the supplies of said product.

The DGT's ruling

The reduced rate of 10% applies to goods which, due to their objective characteristics, are designed to alleviate or treat deficiencies for the personal and exclusive use of persons with physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments. The vocal resonance tube consulted is not included in any of the categories of the eighth paragraph of the Annex to the Law. Therefore, the supplies, intra-Community acquisitions and imports of said product are taxed at the rate of 21%.
