Among other things, we will analyze the extent to which such a tool can change consumer behavior in the direction of choosing repair rather than buying new products.<\/p>\n<p>The government&#8217;s strategy for a green circular economy announces a major review of the tax and excise system. A possible reduction or removal of VAT on repair services will aim to achieve better resource utilization and a more circular economy. We will not study the achievement of these goals directly, but the report will provide increased insight into how a tax reduction could affect the demand for repair services.<\/p>\n<p>The project will focus on household products, electronics, furniture, clothing and shoes.
