Abstract

In our taxation, expenditure and social contributions and transfer system families at the lower end of the income scale are only fairly compensated to a limited extent. So it is important to harmonise taxes, social contributions and transfer benefits to make it worth their while to do additional work and to create greater transparency for those affected.
