The cost of living is likely to rise slightly, but this increase will vary depending on an individual’s lifestyle and spending behavior. For example, if your expenses are concentrated primarily on goods exempted from VAT, you will probably not see a significant increase in the cost of living.

VAT will be applied to some but not all of the Banks’ products and services.
