Summary
Under agenda item No. 31, the first reading of Draft Act 211 on the amendment of the Income Tax Act, initiated by Riigikogu members Helle-Moonika Helme and Siim Pohlak, was discussed. To introduce the draft, one of the initiators, Riigikogu member Siim Pohlak, took the floor. He presented a very brief statement, requesting the support of the members, assuming that everyone had already familiarized themselves with the content of the draft.
Next, the position of the Finance Committee was presented by the committee chair, Annely Akkermann. The committee had discussed the draft and proposed to the Riigikogu that the draft be rejected during the first reading. Since no questions were posed to the presenters and no debate was requested, they immediately proceeded to a vote on the lead committee's proposal. The voting result was clear: 36 members supported the rejection of the draft, and 6 were against. Thus, Draft Act 211 was removed from the legislative procedure.
