Zero VAT on food in 2024: “Majority of parliament does not want this solution”

• The Polish government has prepared a bill to introduce a zero VAT rate on food in the first half of 2024.
• However, the new majority in parliament is hesitant to accept the bill because it was proposed by the current government.
• Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki believes that the new majority is making excuses to reject the bill, such as claiming that there is no budget allocation for it.
• The government previously introduced a zero VAT rate on food through regulations, and the budget is in good shape.
• The opposition party, KO, has expressed a desire to return the VAT rate on food to 5%.
• The zero VAT rate on food was initially implemented in February 2022 as part of anti-inflation measures.
