The talks also include lowering this tax from 1.5% on the value of the existing structures held by taxpayers by December 31 of the previous year, as well as setting a period of application for this tax. The step announced on Sunday evening caused significant reactions from the business sector, with the worst affected companies being those in the energy sector, which have major investments in progress.
Finance Minister Tanczos Barna says the tax will be 1% instead of 1.5% as previously said, and the enforcement guidelines should be set within the next 90 days.
