Message | Mr.Speaker, While we agree with Article 1 as we think the tax for luxury items is pretty low we disagree with article 2. Company's already pay considerably less in Dorvik than in other nations and to cut taxes by 4%? That seems a bit extreme in our opinion. We would have voted yes for a 1 to 2% decrease in taxes for corporations. We sadly have to vote no. Eckhard Schulhof, President of the DKF |

Message | I think the amount of tax a small business pays should be as low as possible. Perhaps we disagree on that. Edmond Albrecht Minister of Finance |
