By Plenary Sessions: Annely Akkermann

The speaker takes a clear position on the issue of the tax hump, supporting the amendment to the Income Tax Act which would reduce the marginal tax rate from 34.5% to 22% in the income range of 1200–2100 euros. This position strongly supports the government's stance and contrasts with the proposal by the Isamaa parliamentary group to raise the basic exemption to 700 euros per month.
