Strongly agree

Decrease, but only on food and medicine

The PSD has shown support for decreasing VAT rates on essential items like food and medicine in the past. For example, in 2012, the PSD-led government reduced the VAT rate on some basic food items from 6% to 5%. This policy aligns with their goals of promoting economic growth and reducing the tax burden on citizens, particularly those with lower incomes.

Agree

Decrease, to provide economic growth

The PSD has a history of supporting policies that promote economic growth, and decreasing VAT rates could be one such measure. For example, in 2014, the PSD-led government reduced the VAT rate on food served in restaurants from 23% to 13% to boost the hospitality sector. However, their support for decreasing VAT rates would likely depend on the specific context and the potential impact on public finances.

Agree

Decrease

PSD has historically supported measures to stimulate economic growth and reduce the tax burden on citizens. They might be in favor of decreasing VAT rates to achieve these goals, but not as a blanket policy.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only on luxury purchases

The PSD might consider increasing VAT rates on luxury purchases as a targeted measure to raise revenue without significantly impacting the majority of citizens. However, this would not be their primary approach to taxation, and they would likely weigh the potential benefits against the potential negative effects on the economy and consumer spending.

Slightly disagree

Increase, to help sustain the economy

While the PSD might consider increasing VAT rates to help sustain the economy, it would not be their primary approach. They generally prefer measures that promote economic growth and reduce the tax burden on citizens. However, they might support a targeted increase in VAT rates if it is deemed necessary for fiscal stability.

Disagree

Increase

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) generally supports a balanced approach to taxation. They may not strongly advocate for increasing VAT rates across the board, as it could negatively impact economic growth and consumer spending. However, they might consider it under specific circumstances or for targeted purposes.
