Changes in the tax systemOpen and readClose

From 2016, changes in the tax system alter the distribution between ordinary taxes and tax equalization contributions to the central government. Lower rates on ordinary income reduce the equalization tax, while a new system for surtax from personal taxpayers increases the ordinary tax to the central government.
