Summary
During the Riigikogu sitting, the first reading of Bill 195, the draft act amending the Income Tax Act, initiated by Riigikogu members Rene Kokk and Leo Kunnas, was addressed as the 15th item on the agenda. The purpose of the bill was to set the income tax rate for natural persons at 18%. The bill was presented by Riigikogu member Leo Kunnas, who introduced the proposal extremely briefly, merely confirming the specific tax rate.
The Finance Committee, acting as the lead committee, presented its position, represented by the committee chair, Annely Akkermann. The committee had discussed the bill and proposed that the Riigikogu reject it during the first reading. Since no desire was expressed to open debate, they immediately proceeded to a vote to decide on the lead committee's proposal.
Decisions Made 1
The proposal by the responsible committee to reject Bill 195 at the first reading was adopted with 34 votes in favor (4 against). The bill was consequently removed from the legislative procedure.
