“A reduced VAT rate of 5% or 9% on chilled and fresh meat is proposed. If the rate were cut to 5%, around €80 million would be needed (to make up for lost budget revenue),” Evelina Butkutė-Lazdauskienė said on Friday.

“According to the prime minister, the cuts are aimed not only at making meat cheaper, but also at providing a stimulus to livestock farming,” she said.
