Sažetak
At its fourth session held on July 24, 2009, the Government of the Republic of Croatia proposed a law on a special tax on salaries, pensions and other income1 (hereinafter: special personal income tax, SPIT), recently referred to in the public as the "crisis tax" or "solidarity tax". The purpose of the tax is to collect additional revenues necessary to reduce the central government budget deficit in a situation of a GDP decline. In this press release, we analyse some characteristics of the tax and calculate the increase in the tax burden for various levels of income.
