Revenues and special favors
The 2.1 percent increase in state revenue announced for the month of May, which falls far short of the budget estimate of 12.1 percent, is not good news, neither for the country's education system nor its health system, nor for any of the other obligations the state has toward its citizens.
The black market economy and systematic tax evasion are flourishing. They are not only an insult to the taxpayers' sense of justice, but are at the expense of funding for the state's ever-expanding requirements.
The Economy and Finance Ministry leadership's tolerance of major tax evasion and its aversion to inspecting certain firms means not only the resulting loss of revenues but moreover encourages further tax evasion. |
