15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
Economic perspectives support the redistribution of the tax burden, favoring the taxation of banks' windfall profits instead of taxing private individuals. The necessity of supporting borrowers through interest rate relief is emphasized, and tax hikes that impact consumption (such as VAT), which deepen the recession, are opposed. They advocate for a fiscal policy that directs tax revenue to where profits are generated, contrasting with the current fiscal discipline that harms private citizens.
