National Assembly slightly reduces taxes on labour

Ljubljana, 23 October - MPs adopted on on Wednesday a package of tax bills that slightly reduce the taxation of labour in favour of higher taxes on capital. Finance Minister Andrej Bertonclj rejected calls for more substantial cuts by arguing fiscal constraints meant these would need to be gradual. The Left insisted the reform would primary benefit the rich.
