Employee Coronavirus tests are deemed BIK

Not completely, they are only stopping the tax for antigen tests, not antibody tests (it says in that article).

Antibody test is clearly a luxury, should be 25% VAT on it!

I think it makes sense even if it is a bit squiffy. The antibody test is available for free so treating it as a BIK for someone who pays for it is unfair. Antigen tests are not available for free so everyone is in the same boat.

Eh? You seem to be confusing antigen test (for current Covid-19 infection) and antibody (usually 28 days after infection took place).
