Voted "Tax hut"

01.12.2010

After some hesitations the majority of GERB, however, decided to tax buildings estates with tax assessment under the 1680 BGN. Yesterday budget committee of parliament voted on second reading amendments to the Law on local taxes and fees, together with the proposed levy was nicknamed “ hut tax”. Before the discussions in the Committee of Cveta Karayancheva GERB decided to quit it.

"We have no final position, but we are in the process of debate. I think this point of law will be abolished," she said.

But her prognosis is not true. The motive for the removal of non-taxable minimum for property is that in times of crisis it would fill the coffers of the municipalities that collect property tax.

In previous versions of the law, these properties are not taxed, because the costs of collecting the levy exceeded the benefit to the Treasury.

"The service will cost more than the earnings themselves," said Aliosman Imamov DPS.

According to the boss of the budget committee Menda Stoyanova the macro revenue and expenditure will be compensated, but there are many small communities, where most properties are now under allowance.

"Before two or three years that tax was looked in the opposite direction. The same tax administration told us it makes no sense to engage in this exercise," said Rumen Ovcharov from the left. BSP even started the petition against "hut tax" and the electoral code, announced in Plovdiv MP from Coalition for Bulgaria and former Transport Minister Petar Mutafchiev. He said the removal of non-taxable minimum injurious poorest, although the levy is only between 3 and 5 BGN.
