- VAT for the gastronomy sector in Kosovo has returned to 18% from January 1, after a temporary reduction ended.
- Business owners say this increase is harmful, especially since the government did not provide sufficient support during the pandemic.
- Managers report they have no choice but to accept the increase, facing reduced working hours and no wage support.
- Calls to keep VAT lower were ignored, and the decision is seen as unfair to the already struggling sector.
- The VAT increase also affects insurance transactions and agricultural insurance, following changes in economic recovery laws.
