New Lottery Tax Will Offset Cut in Income Tax
BELGRADE, Serbia (March 10, 2004) -- Serbia's new Finance Minister Mladjan Dinkic said on Wednesday that he would abolish capital gains tax and slash income tax by a third to attract investors away from EU accession countries.
Djelic's proposal to cut income tax by a third would be equivalent to a cut in receipts in the region of $250 million, according to local analysts.
But Dinkic said any lost revenue could be at least partly if not fully offset by the launch of a new lottery tax that would earn at least 100 million Euros a year for the budget.
