Master Chef -Gewinner hat eine Petition zur Reduzierung der Mehrwertsteuer auf 10% für Lebensmittel erstellt, wie in anderen EU -Ländern. Es werden nur 1000 benötigt, damit die Initiative im Riigikogu erörtert wird.
Die Nahrungsmittelpreise in Estland betragen 109 Prozent des Europäischen Union -Durchschnitts (Eurostat, 2024), während das durchschnittliche Bruttogehalt um 36 Prozent hinter dem EU -Durchschnitt zurückbleibt (Eurostat, Q1, 2025).

Do you seriously believe that Estonia will reduce taxes?
Lol no
The ruling coalition will look at it say eh vote it down and thats it likely scrnario is before elections they do it temporarily half year for popularity similarly to last elections when 1 of their slogans was taxes will not rise and later in a interveiw after elections and tax increases they said they said raising taxes is unpopular so they didnt mention it during elections…
This will be a lose lose for everyone except retailers. Even if VAT for food is reduced, do you really believe that retailers will lower prices if people are still buying with current prices. Instead what will happen is that retailers will pocket the extra profit and the country will have less tax income.
All we will got is warm, used air from their mouth. Seen many times before.
Anyway, I participated too. Edit: During signing, 3 more signs were added.
What will not be done for this? In other words – Where will we get the money to pay for the lowering? Stop paying for healthcare? What is the suggestion.
And considering the minus to the state budget, where would you suggest the compensating resource comes from? It’s a balancing act and the money needs to come from somewhere? Start collecting tax on property?
