Fatherland leader Urmas Reinsalu warns that from next year the state will take away almost a month’s salary from an average-wage worker in the form of taxes, writes Rus. Postman.
“The government being formed by Kristen Michal will sharply increase Estonia’s tax burden – in 2023 it was 34% of GDP, in 2024 it was already 35.2%, and in 2025 it will grow to more than 36%,” follows from Reinsalu’s post on social media. “A person receiving an average salary will lose one month of salary in taxes in 2025, and a family with two working parents receiving an average salary will lose an amount equal to two months of salary.”
Reinsalu’s calculation is based on an average salary of around 1,942 euros this year and 2,042 euros next year. The calculations do not include smaller increases in indirect taxes and fees, the increase in land tax, increases in other excise duties, the impact of previous government decisions on the value of money next year and the destabilising effect on businesses and therefore on wages.
