Business community rejects annual tax hikes by Kurti Government

Kurti promised at the government's final meeting that the programme would be presented in the coming days and then presented for review in the Assembly.

OEK head [Kosovo Economic Ode], Mr. Berat Rukiqi, has said that it is not yet known how the government will make budget collection on this amount for CKP, Periscope leads.

He has declared that without the publication of the governing programme, neither can the country's growth of budget be commented.

The possibility of tax increases in order to increase the budget, Rukiqi has said he would be opposed as a business community.

Meanwhile, Kosovo Producers Club Executive Director Astrit Panja has named the possibility of growth to 3 billion euros in the budget as ambitious, even though, the budget had risen annually from 815 million in 2008.

Panja added that economic development and the private sector could happen by fighting informality, but also by cutting back the social scheme which has not brought the right effects for Kosovo's economy. /Periscope
