There is not enough data.

Insufficient data.

Economic perspectives are strongly opposed to tax hikes, forecasting negative consequences such as cross-border shopping, an increase in the use of cash, and people moving away from Estonia. The stated purpose of tax collection is criticized, with the implication that it serves the redistributive apparatus rather than genuinely assisting the poor.

Economic views are fiscally skeptical, highlighting the risk of a budget deficit and the government's inability to use funds effectively. Particular criticism is directed at the structure of the security tax, with suspicions that it was created opaquely to prevent the traceability of expenditures. Concerns are raised that the money is being spent "everywhere" without clear targeting.

The economic perspective strongly opposes the introduction of new taxes and supplementary levies, particularly during an economic downturn. It is stressed that any new tax is fundamentally misguided, as it diminishes the standard of living for the populace and drives business confidence to an all-time low. This view supports economic stability and stands against aggressive tax hikes.
