That is just bullshit. Why books or "revenues from artistic works" has 10% but oil 50% VAT? Most people need heating oil more than paintings.

It's a matter of social policy. If you want to encourage more artistry one of the available ways is reducing taxes on it.

If someone is against it they're most welcome to vote against it.
