VMRO-DPMNE proposes to the government a set of measures that will directly protect the standard of citizens in conditions of dizzying price hike.

VMRO-DPMNE will request through the Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia instead of 5% preferential tax rate for trade and import of human food products, to be 0% or no tax to be paid, we will further ask for heating energy instead of 5% tax to have no tax. These requirements should be valid from the day of adoption of the legal changes until December 31,2022. We will also demand an extension of the 5% tax rate for electricity after July 1, as well as a 50% reduction in the excise tax on fuel, the party said in a press release.

The party points out that the Government is additionally asked to consider the proposal to reduce customs tariffs for products in the food industry, a measure that is expected to reduce the final cost of food products.
