Debate on the nationally important issue "Why is food expensive?", initiated by the Estonian Centre Party faction.

XV Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting

Supports lowering the VAT on foodstuffs as an economic balancing measure that boosts purchasing power and restores demand. It also backs the principle that the wealthier should pay taxes proportional to their means (i.e., targeted taxation). It is believed that the budgetary impact of the VAT reduction will remain moderate due to circular consumption, which channels the saved money back into consumption.
