15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, press briefing.
Economic perspectives are firmly opposed to tax hikes, arguing that they deepen the economic crisis and ultimately reduce budget revenues. They favor the opposite approach: freezing or lowering taxes, or shifting the tax burden onto the financial sector, pointing to successful examples in other European countries. They stress that you simply cannot tax the economy if you want to get it moving again.
