Trade Unions and Parties Demand Changes to the Tax-Free Threshold and Tax Brackets

December 1, 2025

Trade unions and political parties are calling for an increase in the tax-free income and changes to tax brackets. The proposed tax reform is seen as unfair to workers with a family income of €80,000 and does not benefit certain public servants. MPs are opposed to the government's proposals, requesting a review and correction of distortions. There are also concerns about the increase in corporate tax rates. The Tax Commissioner warns about the impact on state revenues if the tax-free threshold is raised.
