According to Tabaku, this initiative has been undertaken by all EU member states as a way of promoting economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur proposal is quite simple and very straightforward. We should help that part of society, whose buying power has been reduced. The results would reach 17 billion LEK, which is nothing compared to what these past years\u2019 state budgets have been able to offer.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve waived the mineral tax or the VAT tax on yachts. These incentives have done little to help out citizens, they\u2019ve only benefited a limited amount of people, instead of the entire economy.<\/p>\n<p>What we are looking to achieve is to at least, have this government show its support for citizens, once every eight years,\u201d said Tabaku.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/07\/16\/diesel-prices-go-up-in-albania-experts-taxes-need-to-be-reconsidered\/\">Diesel prices go up in Albania, experts: Taxes need to be reconsidered<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/06\/02\/property-tax-proved-unsuccessful-during-pandemic-government-cushioned-losses\/\">Property tax proved unsuccessful during pandemic, government cushioned losses<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/04\/06\/67-support-flat-tax-33-low-trust-levels-claims-new-study-on-businesses\/\">67% support flat tax, 33% low trust levels, claims new study on businesses<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Democratic Party presented a legal initiative to Parliament today, to lower the VAT tax from 20% to 6%, as a way to help boost the economy.
