The temporary government measure of applying a reduced (9.5%) value-added tax (VAT) rate on energy products have expired.
The Ministry of Finance announces that as of May 31, 2023, the measure of reducing the VAT rate on supplies of electricity, natural gas, district heating, and firewood for heating has ended and will not be extended. The measure was initially implemented to alleviate the burden of high energy prices during the last heating season, when market conditions for energy products were particularly challenging.
The purpose of the temporary measure, along with other measures, was to relieve consumers from high heating costs during the heating season. The lower VAT rate was applicable only to energy products intended for heating purposes.
Therefore, starting from June 1, 2023, the standard 22% VAT rate is once again in effect.
