<\/a> LEGISLATION WATCH- Snackfood industry petitions House not to impose full VAT on sweets<\/strong>: <\/strong>Snackfood makers are lobbying the House Planning and Budgeting Committee to leave VAT on pastries and baked goods unchanged in any upcoming amendments to the VAT Act, <\/strong>CEO of snack food giant Edita Hani Berzi told the local press<\/a> on Thursday. The move follows reports in the local press<\/a> that the House plans to subject crackers and sweet pastries to the full 14% VAT rather than the current 5% schedule tax. The sensitivity of snack foods to price changes means that the application of a higher VAT rate could see their prices soar by anywhere between 50-100%, Berzi, who also heads up the Food Export Council, said.<\/p>\n

One way or another, we won\u2019t hear the end of this for at least another three months:<\/strong> Discussions in the House on the amendments will be postponed until the next legislative season when a new House is seated after the results of the still-unfolding election process. That won\u2019t be until February 2021 at the earliest, parliamentary sources said.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> Some business groups are also opposing the proposed imposition of 14% VAT on the rent and purchase of commercial and administrative properties, with real estate developers arguing that they will not be able to cope with the additional costs<\/a> because of covid-19 induced losses. The amendments would also subject most commercial advertising to the tax<\/a> but scrap the 20% stamp tax on ads and allow tourists to claim VAT rebates<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
