According to the head of state, this tax does not give some economic logic.

« Therefore, I think that if the state wants to tax something in a higher way, let it introduce greater progressive taxation or taxation of any other segments that are not taxed today, or let them tax more significantly, » he said.

« Transaction tax as such in the long run does not give me logic. I also think it would have to be canceled and if it caused problems in the state budget, it needs to be replaced by some other. It is hard to explain to people today why they pay transactional tax.

Pellegrini also criticized this tax on Saturday’s dialogues. He said in the discussion session that the transactional tax has a number of shortcomings of the AU inhabitants of Slovakia provokes great resentment.
