PM Tsipras holds meeting on MPs taxation draft law
A meeting called by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on the taxation of MPs salaries as well as the reduction of the ministers, Public Utilities and Organisation chiefs and the presidents of Independent Administration authorities’ allowances was concluded at that Maximos mansion.
"When the abolition of the farmers' allowances is on the negotiations table we can't remain indifferent over the tax exceptions applied for us..." said Tsipras according to government sources.
The prime minister also noted that the draft law that abolishes the MPs tax free must be tabled immediately in parliament underlining that "it is not only a political initiative with economic results but also with a symbolic context".
Alternate Administration Reform Minister Christoforos Vernardakis, Alternate Finance Minister Dimitris Mardas and the Cabinet secretary Spyros Sagias participated in the meeting.
