New rates will affect everyone – from housing to salaries

In Vilnius, new apartment buildings arise one after the other, and with them, questions about how much to pay for their own home.

« The forecasting of the Ministry of Finance, the collection of several dozen millions in general after the reform in terms of real estate tax, was probably caused by a billion of all the scales and all speculations, » said Valdas Benkunskas, Mayor of Vilnius.

The Ministry of Finance rewrote the real estate tax guidelines until Wednesday, but eventually decided: the first housing taxation would be only a matter of municipalities. They will decide on what cartel and how much to pay.

« I would invite self -government to trust, and I also trust self -government, » said Finance Minister Rimantas Šadžius.

« Municipality people trust more than the Seimas, and I believe that the right is not abused, » said Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas.

This will also depend on municipal budgets, as almost all the money raised from the dwelling will travel there. It is not a problem for the mayor of the capital. Promises most of Vilnius residents to dismiss the tax altogether.

« I will make the effort to make the city council a decision that will allow the absolute majority of Vilnius residents to pay this tax, » the mayor of Vilnius said.

It is a bit sad if the mayors do not set the fee at all. In this case, the main dwelling is at risk of paying the first euro, one tenth percent rate.

« I think there will certainly be no municipality who forgot to do it, » the Minister of Finance said.

Only the promised discounts will be comforted: 50 percent. – if the value of the dwelling does not exceed 450 thousand euros per person. 75 percent Discount – only for families with large or disabled child. The other housing – not the main housing – is no longer offered by the mayors, but by the state. The fee per owner would start at 20 thousand. euros. For very neglected buildings, the rate is the highest.

We do not bring joy and understand that the budget needs more funds, and this decision will not make a significant impact.

« It must be understood that in the context of Vilnius city, almost all parking lots, greenhouses will be taxed, and the tax burden will be much more significant, » said V. Benkunskas.

The government ignites green light and other tax changes. The companies provide for an additional percentage of income tax – up to 17 percent.

« There is no joy and we understand that the budget needs more funds, this decision will not make a significant impact, » said Aidas Mackevičius, CEO of PakMarkas.

Where in the eyes of the entrepreneur is a threat, it is personal income tax. The government approved three steps – 20 to 32 percent. The current rate for individual activity will only be valid if the income does not exceed 20 thousand.

“Some effect occurs for individuals who earn more than 4.2 thousand per month in their hands. EUR, ”said Paluck.

« There is some punishment for talents, attracting highly qualified professionals, I think Lithuania will be less attractive, » stressed A. Mackevičius.

« You need to say plainly-it’s a tax ‘Frankenstein’, and it will touch absolutely all residents, » said independent risk analyst Šarūnas Andriukaitis-Sutkus.

These tax changes penetrate both residents and businesses in a fierce criticism of transformation – that everything is too chaotic and nervous.

« This is the absurdity of such chaos, with such economic indicators. First of all, one should go to Brussels, negotiate a higher deficit, and then think about how to normalize the tax reform, » said Š. Andriukaitis-Sutkus.

Some companies talk and that such taxes in Lithuania will simply not pay off, but the prime minister answers the question.

« I’m sorry, they didn’t say where they would move, where they find such a favorable tax regime, regulation as in Lithuania? » Asked the Prime Minister.

But there is little success in the tax reverse to negotiate. There is no maximum personal income tax step – 36 percent. Additional health insurance, which has caused many passions, will only become more expensive from a certain limit.

« As a result, we offered a compromise option – a partial preference for up to € 350 a year, » the Minister of Finance said.

The government also tends to cherish central heating and sweetened drinks. To introduce a new fee for all non -life insurance contracts.

« The wealthy will certainly not touch, which has schemes – will not touch. Here will touch those who sincerely want to create additional well -being in this country, » said Sh. Andriukaitis-Sutkus.

The Prime Minister promises – after solving these taxes, the others will not plan others. Now the relay is passed on to the Seimas, but criticism even from coalition partners.

« I can say – I do not agree with the reform, it was possible to look for other options, » said Algirdas Butkevičius, a member of the Seimas (DFVL).

After all tax increases, next year, 346 million may be collected for defense. euros.
