Danish Culture Minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt has announced that the government will propose to abolish the 25% VAT on books, saying the step is essential to tackle the reading crisis among young people. Research shows that 24% of 15-year-olds in Denmark lack the minimum skills to understand a simple text. Book publishers are backing the measure, saying it, along with an increase in library book purchases, could improve access to reading for all Danes.
