The Tax Reform 2009-10

The tax reform of 2009-10 focuses on a reduction of the wage and income taxes. It essentially comprises a reform of the tax tariff, measures to relieve families, an extension of the deductibility of donations as well as tax reductions for business incomes. However, the tax reform – as well as the other tax relief measures of the past year – helps only in part to achieve the structural macroeconomic objectives pursued through the tax system (or its reform).
