🇬🇧 English

The court ruled that countries can apply a lower VAT rate on hotel accommodations but not on additional services that aren't directly related to the stay. This means that guests will pay less tax on their room but may still pay the regular rate for things like meals or spa services. This decision affects hotel operators and their guests.
