In the 24UR show, the new finance minister Andrej Šircelj answered questions. His statement that the VAT, which now stands at 22 percent, can be raised to cover the deficit in the state treasury, has raised eyebrows. The SDS has, in the pre-election campaign, promised lower taxes.
Šircelj, however, believes that the key is the coalition agreement that was agreed and which contains some important provisions, including regarding finances. According to his words, they have committed themselves to making these stable, predictable… “Even all the measures that will be taken on the revenue or expenditure side will be such that we will not exceed a 3 percent deficit.
Now we have it, and that is why we are thinking about how to reduce this deficit,” he explained. He said that they will first tackle the deficit on the revenue side and then the expenditure side.
