Would you support creating a long-term tax policy that would achieve cross-party consensus on direct and indirect tax levels?

Radek John supports a long-term tax policy- after the economy is stabilized. The budget deficit is rising dramatically due to the crisis, and needs to be resolved before such a policy could be addressed.

 

Would your party support introducing measures- such as increasing the number of votes necessary to pass tax legislation- that would force greater consensus on tax policy?

John strongly supports this, but thinks that there will be problem with gaining the qualified majority for tax modification across big political parties.

 

Most of the current proposals to address the government deficit focus on raising revenue by raising taxes on those who already pay. Shouldn’t the government take steps to reduce tax evasion before placing a greater burden on taxpayers? If you agree, what steps would you take?

Veci verejne would like to remove corruption from the country. To achieve this, John proposes to take several steps such as testing the bribability of public officers and politicans or granting tax amnesty as has been done in Italy.
