Lower VAT for fruit and vegetables?

In regards to the plans on extending the list of foods with lowered VAT, Agriculture Minister Gabriela Matečná stated on Wednesday that fruit and vegetables should have their VAT definitely lowered. On the other hand, the VAT on products containing sugar, i.e. those that are harmful to health should remain at the same level. The minister hopes that this measure will reduce the prices of healthy snacks, which will become popular also among school pupils.
