Cutting corporate tax subsidies “could be wise in the long run,” Purra said. He also brought up health taxes.
The Treasury minister Riikka Purran According to (ps), the starting point for the government's spring frame run is very challenging. The state's deficit for the current year is likely to be over 12 billion euros, Purra said in his speech at the Veromaksajai Keskusliitto Vero2024 event in Helsinki.
In the framework crisis in mid-April, the government decides the basic guidelines for the use of state money for the following years. Very large cuts and possibly tax increases are likely ahead.
According to Purra, “the adaptation has to be done with an emphasis on cutting, whether you like the scissors or not”. At the same time, he said that tax extortion is also needed.
Purra's sax comment refers to a picture of him appearing on social media scissors in his hands and a smile on his face.
About tax increases Purra said that he doesn't think tightening the taxation of work is reasonable.
Instead, cutting corporate tax subsidies “could be wise in the long run,” he said. He also brought up health taxes.
“Considering that a person has visited the moon, one would not think that health taxation would be completely impossible to implement. Trans fats, salts and added sugars, when used excessively, are comparable to alcohol and tobacco.”
In addition, according to Purra, new ways of taxing electrified traffic must be developed.
