The government has put its VAT reform on takeaway and non-alcoholic drinks on hold

The restricted cabinet (kern) abandoned a series of measures on Friday that had been developed as part of its "consumption tax shift." This means there will be no doubling of the VAT on takeout and other delivered meals. However, the federal government also scrapped the planned reduction in the tax on non-alcoholic beverages. As a result, Arizona is set to receive €475 million in revenue.
