While SATT acknowledges that the removal of VAT is a form of consumer relief during the pandemic “we wish to remind the public that this relief came amid the worst year on record for escalating food prices due to the chronic global supply chain issues being experienced. The removal of VAT does not revoke the impact of global inflation and the price increases being passed on by domestic suppliers to supermarkets because of this situation. Food price increases are taking place due to worldwide shortages and shipping delays.”
