The centre-right: “VAT removed from cosmetic surgery”

«The government intervenes with a law to remove VAT from cosmetic surgery operations. And at the same time it guarantees regulatory certainty for operators in a sector, doctors and patients, who have been dealing with the Revenue Agency for some time ». This is what the center-right is asking of the executive through a motion presented today and signed by all the forces of the majority. «Medicine and cosmetic surgery services – explains the first signatory of the motion, the blue Annarita Patriarca – must fall within the category of health services not subject to VAT treatment. The concept of “health”, in fact, includes every “state of complete physical, mental and social well-being” which “does not consist only in the absence of disease or infirmity”.

“Applying the tax today – continues Patriarca – even requiring payment for the past, represents a critical issue for sector operators and for the patients themselves, as well as contradictory conduct on the part of the tax authorities”.
