TIRANA, May 3 /ATA/- Prime Minister Edi Rama said in his remarks from the podium of parliament that Tirana municipality has raised only one tax, that in the sector of construction which affects the constructors not Tirana citizens.
This tax goes directly to the fund for construction of new schools for children.
We have raised only two taxes, the tax on the rich, be them companies or people earning more. We have delivered on the promise sticking to our programme and philosophy. The 10 percent tax on companies has gone up to 15 percent, 10 percent tax on PM until yesterday has gone up to over 15 percent.
We have applied progressive tax raise for those gaining more. Concerning the other taxes, the municipality has raised the tax on constructors and it has done good, because they are the richest stratum of society.
