Since the professional and political discussions give to the income tax gives (too)much attention, it is subject to frequent changes. The goal of changes in personal income tax is to increase personal consumption, which makes 60 to 70% of GDP, which results in an increase of GDP.

The Law on Financing the Units of Local and Regional Self-Government determines exactly in which proportions income tax is distributed. Thus, 60% of income refers to the income of the city / municipality, 16.5% represents the share of the county while the share for decentralized functions is 6%, the share of the call for decentralized assistance calls for 16%, and the share of assistance for projects co-financed by the European Structural and Investment funds 1.5%.
