A new government means new tax reforms
After the 2022 election three parties have emerged to form a majority government, and the basis of government has already been presented.
There are, naturally, several points regarding tax, which we will summarise here. When the legislation is finalised the technicality of the points presented here might be subject to change.
First we note that no new tax can be levied unless other taxes are removed or lowered – this effectively means a halt to any increase in taxes. If the taxes on business should increase nonetheless, the funds are to be funnelled back as subsidies.
We look forward to follow the actual implementation of the intentions and will make sure to monitor the changes closely.
