Lower VAT on fruits and vegetables

-

The grocery store chain COOP together with several health organizations are lobbying the government to propose a law that will lower the VAT on fruits and vegetables, essentially making them cheaper. 

  • The health organizations are also asking for the VAT on “unhealthy food” to be raised at the same time. 
  • Unhealthy food is the second biggest risk factor for public health after tobacco in Denmark. 
  • The government is skeptical about the idea of introducing differentiated VAT.
