Property taxes will be raised to increase the revenue side of the budget of Kyrgyzstan, the member of the Parliament Dastan Bekeshev reports.
According to him, the Parliament approved amendments to the 2021 budget and the draft budget for 2022 in the first reading. The ambitious plans that were set had not been fulfilled. While in words they promise to raise salaries of teachers, medical workers, cultural workers until April 2022, these expenses are not included in the budget itself, the Cabinet of Ministers does not budget them.
“We failed to adopt a budget of 400 billion soms. There is no such income. But there is a goal to increase revenues by 90 billion soms. To do this, taxes on property, on motor vehicles with an engine capacity of over 3 cubic meters, on housing will be raised. Freight traffic from China will increase, as well as tax collection due to improved administration. I have little idea that something like this will suddenly happen. They promise that everyone will buy and sell goods through a smartphone, but this is still not real,” Dastan Bekeshev said. (24.kg/Business World Magazine)
