Original fact check ↗Original review summary
The VAT increase took effect under cabinet Rutte-III, which included D66 but not GroenLinks or PvdA; those two parties were in opposition and did not support the plan. The increase applied to the entire reduced VAT rate, not only fruit and vegetables.[S1]
Additional context
The VAT rate rose from 6% to 9% on 1 January 2019. [S1]
