Tax plans raise passions as well in the Seimas

Most feared there would be no, like conservatives, presented tax reform, and even the coalition partners turned away.

« The biggest mistake of the previous government’s tax reform was that the first thing was, the things were said, and then the public’s reaction was received, » said Saulius Skvernelis, Speaker of the Seimas.

So he was cooking, combining, stinging positions.

« It takes time, but it is democracy. Slowly but confidently, » the Minister of Finance said earlier.

And still, the Conservatives are not so far away.

« We speak one in groups, the second in the coalition council, and the third we receive draft laws, » the Speaker of the Seimas said on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Finance registered proposals for changing taxes in the Seimas. In addition to being agreed at all, one of the coalition partners on Thursday also accused R. Šadžius for the holidays from residents.

« There will be a painting drawn by Rimantas Šadžius on the eggs. What will be a favorite drawing will be Rimantas’ drawing, » said the leader of the Nemunas Dawn.

We speak one in groups, the second in the coalition council, the third – we receive draft law.

« This is a normal political discussion. They think there will be much more, » said Šadžius.

« The minister is a really cool minister and takes care of the state’s financial stability, » said Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas.

Sparks mainly due to real estate tax. Specifically, due to the low so -called tax floor, everyone who is more expensive than 40,000 would pay.

« I didn’t count, not necessarily what was registered, I will need to count, so I doubt it. You saw what the mood is, » the Speaker of the Seimas said.

« I think at Easter everyone on the leaves will pull out the old calculators, who else you have. If you remember – I still remember – I have the old countesses, we will count what the value of the property is, » said R. Žemaitaitis.

It turns out that this will be the case, only the coalition partners were unaware.

« Yes, we met the prime minister, » said Šadžius.

« It really wasn’t some surprise to me. The coalition partners have repeatedly discussed various possible suggestions, » Paluck said.

However, support is not visible either on the opposition side.

The mayor of the capital, Valdas Benkunskas, protested that it would be a fee of Vilnius residents. Because real estate is much more expensive here than elsewhere in Lithuania.

« The mayor is completely right, but just as are those who say that the tax is not only for Vilnius, but also to Kaunas and Klaipėda, » said Conservative leader Laurynas Kasčiūnas.

In addition, when it comes to tax increases, R. Šadžius always emphasizes that money is needed for defense. Although, for example, 46 million real estate tax would be raised from the planned, only half the amount would be.

« They will be awarded mainly to the implementation of the Social Democratic Social Program, » said Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, leader of the Liberal Movement.

« For any taxes, our deliberation will depend on whether the money raised from that tax will go to defense or not, » explained L. Kasčiūnas.

The prime minister criticized the business.

« No good news, just bad news, » said Andrius Romanovskis, President of the Lithuanian Business Confederation.

It presses the state to borrow more than to increase profit or personal income taxes.

« Is it difficult for you to borrow? Understand that it is not the Seimas and the Government to borrow – all Lithuanian citizens borrow. Asked the Prime Minister.

By the way, it was obstructed by R. Shadis and for never having appeared in any tax negotiations. Now promises – who and how to explain to colleagues.

Asked if he would present himself, Šadžius replied, « Of course, there will be meetings with coalition partners. »

Experts criticize that the tariffs would be reduced according to the option proposed by the Ministry of Finance. It would be one of those who live in a cheaper home and have not yet paid the tax.
