Temporary cut from 20% to 9% VAT on domestic gas and electricity May 2023
Estonia is looking at a temporary VAT rate cut on home energy from 1 May 2022 until 1 May 2023.
Estonia’s inflation for March 2022 hit over 15%, the highest in almost thirty years. It was 12% in February. This is powered by food and energy inflation. There is already a proposal for petrol VAT cut from the end of this month.
Many other European VAT energy and food cuts have been introduced as inflation has rocketed.
Last year, the EU Finance Ministers agreed to allow more freedoms on reduced VAT rate setting which have now come into effect. Sign-up for our free VAT & GST news updates.
