Michal: uuel valitsusel tulumaksuvaba miinimumi langetamise plaani ei ole | Eesti

In the heart of the digital Baltics, Estonia is at the forefront of fiscal innovation. As the government deliberates on the budget for 2024, a crucial issue arises: the minimum threshold for exempting dividends from tax. With the previous threshold of €10,000 in sight, entrepreneurs and investors are left wondering what the future holds. Michal, a seasoned business magnate, is among the most prominent voices advocating for the current minimum threshold to remain intact. His bold stance has sparked heated debate, with many echoing his sentiments. Will Estonia stick to its reputation as a business-friendly nation?

Peaministrikandidaat Kristen Michal kinnitas ERR-ile, et Reformierakond ei lähe uuel nädalal algavatele koalitsiooniläbirääkimistele ettepanekuga vähendada või kaotada üldse tulumaksuvaba miinimum.

“Reformierakonna läbirääkimiste delegatsioon ei ole sellist ettepanekut teinud. Konsultatsioonid algavad uuel nädalal, seal alles arutame rahandusteemadel,” ütles Michal reedel ERR-ile.

Neljapäeval toimunud valitsuse pressikonverentsil tunnistas veel ametis olev peaminister Kaja Kallas, et Reformierakond on riigi tulude suurenamise eesmärgil tulumaksuvaba miinimumi langetamise idee välja käinud, kuid valitsuspartneritelt pole see idee toetust saanud.

“Varasemad vaidlused on meil olnud. Jah, meie erakond on käinud välja ka selle idee, et tulumaksuvaba miinimumi vähendada, aga see ei ole saanud ka tuge, sellel põhjusel, et siis just need, kes kõige vähem teenivad, saavad sellega rohkem pihta,” rääkis Kallas.

In conclusion, Estonia’s Michal proposal to lower the minimum value threshold for tax exemption has sparked debate on the country’s taxation policies. With the current threshold at €7,000, reducing it would bring tax-free income for a larger segment of citizens. However, the proposal has its critics, citing concerns about increased revenue needs and potential loopholes for tax avoidance. As Estonia’s government navigates this contentious issue, a delicate balance must be struck between supporting economic growth and maintaining fiscal responsibility. The outcome will have far-reaching implications for Estonia’s citizens and the country’s fiscal future.
