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

Havlik is convinced that the inconsistent policies, moving first one way and then snapping back in the other direction, have lead to indecisiveness in the economic communities. This indecisiveness could led to the destruction of the economy.

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?

Petr Havlík thinks that there is not such a simple answer to this question. He agrees with the opinion that fundamental economic decisions shouldn´t be passed by 101 votes in the parliament and that taxes should be viewed, more or less, as people´s or business´s investments in government, and the government should be able to show a measurable return on that investment.

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?

Havlik says that it is necessary to realise that there are both legal tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion. Tax avoidance may be as big or even bigger an issue than evasion. Key companies are mostly registered abroad and so they pay only basic tax rate here and the rest somewhere else. That is revenue that could be reabsorbed by a better tax policy.
