I suppose that there’s also tax credits for companies. BTW funny how there’s money for tax credits during an election year but money’s too tight to drop the class system (which the current coalition has been promissing for years)
My 0.02: those 500M would be better spent by government on constructing new social housing to rent out at reasonable rent.
70€/month/person, good, but won’t make anyone rich!
If they want to make a direct difference, reduce TVA on food.
Without a breakdown on demographics, income thresholds, or basically anything else, 500m/600k people doesn’t show any kind of useful information. RTL classic
surely tax credits will also apply to those who pay tax but don’t live here which is like at least half of the actual amount of people paying tax?
It’s almost like there are elections around the corner. Almost 😉
Most personal refunds will be as a result of the tax efficient savings / pensions / insurance etc. Add deductions paid childcare / private schooling to that and it can be a decent chunk if one has a big family and fully maximizes it.
If you divide 500 million € by 600k you get around 800 € per person. Doesn’t sound that far fetched.
We’re making a deficit, less big than expected but still a deficit. And it’s not even clear if it’s staying like this. The only reason this gets brought up is because of elections, else this would never be done.
An obvious, stupid move like this makes me not wanna vote for them if anything
I tend to have an issue with politicians spending, what is essentially taxpayer money, for their own profit of being reelected and keep on getting those juicy minister salaries. I suppose it is all the more crucial for the current finance minister since she wasn’t even elected once.
The Luxembourg government is just a money pit.
“Look we lost less money than we thought we would. Let’s spend the difference.”
I remember Hong Kong handing out $800 to every resident a decade ago just for the heck of it.
Former french prime minister Jospin did a similar thing when France had no deficit … which happened once in a lifetime since 1974.
