Matovič wants companies to pay €250m more
Finance Minister Igor Matovič (OĽaNO) wants to collect €250m annually by slapping higher taxes on the TOP100 companies, say sources of the E daily. He wants to collect €120m this year already and it remains to be seen which companies will be impacted. The planned revenue corresponds to 20-25% of income taxes of the TOP100 most profitable firms in recent years. They paid €1bn in 2020, and €1.4bn in 2017. Former energy monopolies are among them, but the TOP100 tax payers also include car plants and retail chains, not your typical monopolies/oligopolies. In addition to companies such as eustream and Slovnaft, the government wants to tax online gambling more, increase the alcohol tax, and introduce a gas pipeline tax. It is to present specific proposals in two weeks.
