A planned higher VAT on #books in the #Netherlands hinders access to research.

The planned increase in the #VAT rate on books and #scholarly #information resources in the Netherlands from 9% to 21% will have a major impact on the #accessibility of #HigherEducation.

#Dutch #UniversityLibraries and the National Library of the Netherlands support http://geenhogerebtw.nl and http://boekenpetitie.nl.

We encourage everyone interested to sign these petitions.
