Decrease, to provide economic growth

The 2015 reduction of VAT from 18% to 17% under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an example of their preference for lower taxes to stimulate economic growth.

Agree

Decrease

Likud generally supports lower taxes and deregulation to promote economic growth. In 2015, under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the VAT rate was reduced from 18% to 17%. However, their stance on VAT specifically may not be as strong as their overall preference for lower taxes.

Agree

Decrease, but only on food and medicine

Likud may be more likely to support targeted decreases in VAT rates on essential items like food and medicine, as this aligns with their preference for lower taxes and promoting economic growth. However, there is no strong historical precedent for this specific policy within the party.

Increase, but only on luxury purchases

Slightly disagree

Increase, to help sustain the economy

While Likud has increased VAT in the past, such as in 2003, it was primarily for fiscal stability rather than to sustain the economy. Their overall preference is for lower taxes and less government intervention in the economy.

Disagree

Increase

Likud, as a center-right party, generally prefers lower taxes and less government intervention in the economy. However, they have not been entirely opposed to tax increases in the past when necessary for fiscal stability, such as in 2003 when then-Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raised VAT from 17% to 18%.
