University researcher: Start scrapping VAT on fruit and vegetables tomorrow

The government can “start tomorrow” with scrapping VAT on fruit and vegetables, by determining what can in any case be seen as fruit and vegetables. This is what Jutka Halberstadt, assistant professor of childhood obesity at VU University Amsterdam says on World Obesity Day. For the time being, a committee is examining the government’s plan to scrap VAT, because it must become clear whether or not tomato sauce, for example, is a vegetable.
