Šircelj ne verjame, da bi nižji DDV na živila znižal cene

Slovenian Finance Minister Andrej Šircelj expressed skepticism regarding the effectiveness of lowering VAT on food items to reduce prices. He suggested that such a measure might not necessarily translate into lower costs for consumers. The minister also indicated that an increase in the Value Added Tax (VAT) is not being ruled out as a possibility for public finances. Meanwhile, trade unions are preparing to challenge the admissibility of a referendum on the matter before the Constitutional Court this Friday.

The potential for VAT changes directly impacts household budgets and the broader economic strategy of the government.
