- Denmark plans to cut VAT on essential food products, moving away from its long-standing single-rate system.
- Two options are being considered: a general food VAT reduction (e.g., 25% to 20%) or a targeted zero rate/exemption for items like fruit and vegetables.
- The reform is being discussed for 2028, but officials say it will be technically complex and not implemented immediately.
- Food prices in Denmark have been rising, helping drive the proposal, alongside similar food VAT moves in other European countries.
- Any change would require legal and system updates, and could increase compliance challenges for businesses.
