- Denmark announced a political agreement on January 28, 2026, to explore reducing food prices starting in 2028.
- The plan considers either reducing VAT on all food or removing VAT on fruit and vegetables, with DKK 6 billion per year allocated.
- The government will analyze which option fits the budget and minimizes administrative and economic burdens.
- No VAT changes are being made now; the analysis results are expected in the second half of 2026.
- Any VAT reduction would not take effect before 2028 and requires further political decisions.
