Exemption of electricity and liquefied gas from excise duty, reduction of VAT for central heating by 9%.
"The government is doing everything possible to reduce the final price of the consumer", Petkov stressed. "Zero rate for bread and relief of tax payments for young working families. This is not just help for every child but for working families who have difficulty implementing their budgets", Petkov said.
