The Romanian Government is planning to reduce Romanian VAT to all basic foodstuffs after the success of a trial on key supplies recently.
At present VAT rate is 24%% on most foodstuffs.  Bread was reduced from the standard Romanian 24% to 9% reduced VAT in September 2013.  This appears to help reduce the amount of undisclosed sales of bread for VAT reporting purposes, and therefore encouraged the government to consider extending the reduction to most other basic foodstuffs.
