Strongly agree

Decrease, to provide economic growth

New Democracy has often argued that lowering taxes, including VAT, can stimulate economic growth by increasing consumer spending and business investment. This was a key part of their platform in the 2019 elections.

Strongly agree

Decrease, but only on food and medicine

New Democracy has shown support for targeted tax cuts that benefit the most vulnerable. Decreasing VAT on food and medicine would align with this approach, as it would primarily benefit lower-income individuals who spend a larger proportion of their income on these necessities.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only on luxury purchases

While New Democracy generally opposes tax increases, they might be more open to targeted increases on luxury purchases, as these would primarily affect wealthier individuals and could be seen as a form of progressive taxation.

Disagree

Increase, to help sustain the economy

While New Democracy recognizes the need for fiscal responsibility, they generally prefer measures that stimulate economic growth rather than increasing taxes. They might see an increase in VAT as a last resort, not a primary strategy for sustaining the economy.

Disagree

Increase

New Democracy, as a center-right party, generally supports lower taxes and less government intervention in the economy. They would likely disagree with a blanket increase in VAT rates, as this could be seen as stifling economic growth and burdening businesses and consumers.
