A Belgian sex shop owner's attempt to cut his VAT bill under "cultural exclusions" has been rejected by the European Court of Justice.
The Erotic Cinema in Ghent offers customers private cubicles in which to watch a selection of films.
Its owner claimed it should benefit from the reduced 6% rate of VAT paid by cinema owners, who get a discount under law to promote cultural activities.
Belgium's standard VAT rate is well above that at 21%.
