Background & Purpose

During the general private members' motion period in the autumn of 2023, opposition parties submitted numerous proposals regarding tax rules and population records to improve the system.

Proposals & Debate

The proposals covered various subjects such as making taxes and fees more visible on receipts, rules regarding business tax registration, and enhanced safety for individuals with protected personal data. The opposition wanted the government to initiate swift changes, while the committee pointed out that relevant work is already underway.

The Decision

Parliament voted in favour of the tax committee's recommendation, meaning all ninety opposition proposals were rejected.
