Strongly agree

Increase, but only on luxury purchases

Agree

Decrease, but only on food and medicine

Agree

Increase, to help sustain the economy

The SPD might support increasing VAT rates to help sustain the economy, especially if the revenue is used to fund social programs and public investments. For example, in 2007, the SPD was part of the grand coalition government that increased the VAT rate from 16% to 19% to reduce the budget deficit and fund social security.
