Tax measures to be unveiled today
Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány and Finance Minister János Veres will
elaborate their tax plans in the Budapest Stock Exchange today,
Világgazdaság has learned. Sources say they will announce a so-called
fourth pillar in the pension system by creating yet another savings
account for every employee. This pillar would be supported by tax
breaks as well. Other elements of the tax package to be unveiled today
include a new tax on interest income and another one on capital gains,
each with a rate of 10 per cent.
