But isn't the correct reform her to make the freelancers pay taxes to put them on an equal footing with everyone else? They seem to have fucked up everything about the details, but the general direction seems the correct one: equal taxation for everyone.
- inglor_cz 6y agoIn theory, everyone should be taxed equally. In practice, the tax burden tends to shift to those that cannot easily escape it. Small countries like Serbia need to take into account ease of emigration, too. That is a classic case of "is-ought". Taxation is a Darwinian system that exerts evolutionary pressure on individuals and businesses.
- visarga 6y agoThere's a slight difference here - freelancers are bringing money into the country from outside. Local employees are just moving the money around. And even if the freelancers didn't pay income paxes, they still payed VAT (20%!). So the country already benefited from VAT and influx of capital.
