>When you rip off good social services they end up not working for anyone.
I think the ones doing the ripping off are the ones charging €83 for a €23 service then calling it "free". Then again, there could be other benefits to registering as a resident of Tallinn, so I don't know.
>If you don't agree with it, don't move there. Society doesn't need people like you.
I don't plan to move anytime soon, but what's stopping the current residents from putting 2 and 2 together? I think society needs more people who know to read the fine print.
- v2ikesibul 8y agoPersonal income is taxed at 20% and collected by the central government no matter what. Half of that is then transferred to the municipality you're registered in. Personal income tax makes up approximately half of a municipality's budget and covers far more than only transport-related expenses. Such scheme incentivizes municipalities to compete with other municipalities and offer their residents all kinds of benefits ranging from childcare to public transport to keep them registered there.
