List of food products exempt from VAT announced

The list of food products, sales of which are exempt from value added tax, have been amended. This is stipulated by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers adopted on June 6, Spot writes.

2. Fish
3. Potatoes, seed potatoes (including imported seed potatoes)
4. Onion
5. Eggs
6. Rice (all varieties, including imported rice)
7. Sugar (including imported sugar)
8. Bakery products
