Shas

Very strongly agree

Decrease, but only on food and medicine

Decreasing VAT on food and medicine would directly benefit lower-income families, which is a core concern for Shas. This policy would align closely with the party's priorities of social welfare and support for their constituents, making it highly agreeable to them.

Agree

Decrease

Agree

Decrease, to provide economic growth

Shas might see the merit in decreasing VAT rates as a means to stimulate economic growth, especially if such measures could lead to increased employment and better financial conditions for their constituents. However, their support might be cautious, balancing this with the need for sufficient government revenue to fund social programs.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only on luxury purchases

Shas could potentially support increasing VAT on luxury purchases as a more targeted approach that does not directly burden their primary voter base. This stance would align with their focus on social equity, though their overall skepticism towards VAT increases moderates this score.

Disagree

Increase, to help sustain the economy

While Shas might recognize the need to sustain the economy, the party's focus on social welfare and support for lower-income families would likely make them hesitant to support a general increase in VAT rates, even with the goal of economic sustainability.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Shas, as a party that represents primarily the interests of ultra-Orthodox Jews, often focuses on policies that support lower-income families and social welfare programs. Increasing VAT rates across the board would likely be opposed by Shas as it would disproportionately affect their voter base, which includes many low-income individuals.
