Majority Of Hungarians Reject Flat Tax
- 28 Mar 2012 9:00 AM
"Some 70% of Hungarians oppose the flat tax, as it is the least popular of the government’s economic measures, according to a January survey by Median. More than half of those interviewed, 52%, were pleased that Hungary contacted the IMF, up from 44% gauged in December.
That was the most popular measure, followed by the special taxes on large companies, research project director Laszlo Beck told Inforadio.
The so-called “war of economic independence” policy was supported by only 30% of respondents in January.
More than two-thirds of those interviewed supported Hungary's EU membership. Backing was highest among Fidesz voters, and even two-thirds of Jobbik supporters favoured Hungary's EU membership.
Median interviewed 1,200 people in December, January and February."
