In the Netherlands, yoga, mindfulness, and meditation services currently attract a 21% VAT rate, classified as luxury items. But is prioritizing mental well-being truly a luxury?
Initiators of a growing petition argue that these practices are essential for mental health, not extravagances. They call for reducing the VAT to 6%, making them more accessible. Backed by numerous studies, these activities promote relaxation, reduce absenteeism, and yield significant cost savings for society and government.
