Finance Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO) said the government will not be able to avoid raising some taxes. Although the policy statement rejects this step, the cabinet, according to her, is considering several options for obtaining additional revenue and addressing the state of the state budget. irozhlas.cz ↗
The changes could affect, for example, excise duty and the refinery tax. Also on the table is taxation of investment apartments or substances harmful to health and the environment. However, Schillerová did not specify the exact form of the measures or a deadline by which the government should decide on them. forum24.cz ↗
Tax policy was one of the topics of Sunday's television debate, which also touched on the state budget deficit, legislative steps to reduce the deficit, and fuel and energy prices. In the debate, Schillerová said she inherited a budgetary trap from her predecessor and that the deficit of 386 billion crowns covers investments. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
