The new tax code
The socialist government is increasing high-end income tax brackets, offshore company tax and taxes on fuel and luxuries, among other measures. A controversial measure is making half the tax-free threshold of 12,000 euros contingent on taxpayers gathering thousand of euros' worth of sales receipts.
