- Denmark’s Moderate party is calling for the immediate removal of VAT on fruit and vegetables to ease the cost of living.
- The government previously stated that VAT cuts on food would not happen before the next election due to technical complications.
- The Moderates argue the process is taking too long and propose a simpler, faster solution of removing VAT entirely from these items.
- Other opposition parties and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also support lower VAT on food, but acknowledge it will take time to implement.
- Denmark currently has the highest food tax rates in the EU.
