«If Jozita is so principled about tax increases and decreases, I think she could write in the pay slips of her 220 employees, most of whom earn minimum wage, that their salaries have increased because the government has reduced taxes for workers,» Gentvilas said on Wednesday.
«If Jozita’s owners are so principled, we invite them to include information in the pay slips that this government has raised the salary of all their employees, not thanks to the company’s management, but because it has lowered taxes for workers,» the minister continued.
The business was outraged by the increase in liquefied gas prices — residents buying gas cylinders at Jozita gas stations have been receiving receipts since the beginning of January mentioning that the price has risen due to the ruling parties (initially only mentioning ).
Gentvilas has already commented on this situation, reminding that Jozita continues to trade with and imports gas from there.
It should be recalled that in February, during an extraordinary parliamentary session, the ruling party intends to reduce excise tax on gas from 304 to 41 euros per ton.
