The VAT on ESL and UHT milk is reduced
From January 1, the sales tax on ESL (longer-lasting) and UHT (ultrapast-pasteurized) milk decreased from 18 percent to 5 percent, according to the approved legislation – the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) announced.
Earlier, the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) said that the ministr expects growth in demand and consumption from the measure, as well as the whitening of the sector and the decline of imported milk.
