By Plenary Sessions: Aivar Sõerd

Strong opposition has been voiced against the initiators of the bill (the Center Party faction, Andrei Korobeinik), criticizing their proposal for being poorly thought out and factually incorrect regarding tax matters. The criticism is politically motivated, specifically refuting claims about banks being insufficiently taxed and dismissing the comparison drawn between the margins of casinos and banks. Opponents are being accused of incompetence, and are advised to educate themselves on the tax system and conduct a proper analysis.
