Why it matters
The tax reduction proposal involves a significant fiscal intervention that could affect public finances. Its actual implementation depends on the financial resources available and the outcome of negotiations with Brussels regarding budget flexibility. The measure could affect around three million taxpayers with medium-high incomes.
