The Ministry of Finance presented a concept for a 2023 draft budget with a 3% deficit.
The draft sets down a 10% increase in budgetary sector salaries in the sectors in which this has not yet been done. The draft also envisages the imposition of excess profits tax – a single solidarity contribution for the second quarter of 2023, as well as the reinstatement of some of the VAT rates that were reduced during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the exception of VAT on bread, flour, baby foods and books, restriction of business trips and representation expenditure, raising excise duty on e-cigarettes.
The draft was approved at today’s government sitting.
