VAT tariff on heating could be 15% – Seimas speaker

“We already spoke about it three weeks ago that financing potential was available. The budget is collected well. As the earlier level (of 9 pct) is no longer planned, it could be 15 percent, not 21 percent, which means the tariff would be reduced,” Pranckietis told Žinių Radijas news radio on Wednesday morning.

In his words, the reduced VAT tariff will probably be long-term, not a temporary privilege.
