Government proposes 8% VAT on wheat, maize and sunflower, 12% on barley and rapeseed
The government proposes keeping 8% VAT on wheat, maize and sunflower, while barley and rapeseed would move to 12%.
Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
If you are a farmer, barley and rapeseed would be taxed at 12%, not 8%. The document does not clearly say how fast you get back the VAT you paid on fertiliser, diesel and machinery. Officials say extra revenue will support farmers, but no amounts have been set.
What happened
The government proposes reverse charge taxation and keeping the reduced 8% VAT rate only for wheat, maize and sunflower. Barley, rapeseed and most other farm products would be taxed at 12%. The draft does not expressly oblige the state to refund farmers' VAT within 21 days.
In short
- The reduced 8% rate would apply to wheat, maize and sunflower until 1 January 2028.
- For most other farm products, VAT would rise from 8% to 12%.
- Parliament's cabinet rejected an amendment that asked for full, mandatory refunds of VAT accumulated over at least three years.
- In deals between VAT payers, the seller issues an invoice without VAT and the buyer calculates the tax.
- Justifying the increase, the cabinet says it wants to separate basic food products from other products.
