This will boost the sales further in the coming weeks: the entry into force of the tax on energy devices. Refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers or washing machines are 25% higher in September. This measure was also in the 2013 budget.
The tax will be applied only on devices which Energy Efficient Index exceeds a certain threshold. To be exempt, importers must prove that the devices are not large consumers of energy in producing an Energy Efficiency Certificate. A close to the Ministry of Finance therefore advises consumers to ask sellers if the devices have this certificate. In doing so, he said, they will not buy products with 25% tax.
