- Denmark plans to cut VAT on essential food starting in 2028, costing DKK 6 billion per year.
- The move aims to ease food-price and cost-of-living pressures and boost household purchasing power.
- Two options are being considered: lowering the food VAT rate from 25% to 20%, or removing VAT entirely on fruits and vegetables.
- Economic advisers warn the measure could be costly, harder to administer, and add bureaucracy.
- They also say VAT cuts may not fully reach consumers and that targeted support for low-income families may work better.
