The local governments insisted on the 19.6% share while the central
government had proposed 19.5%.
Prime Minister Maris Kucinskis
(Greens/Farmers) said that the government would make a concession to the local
governments and approve their revenue at 19.6% of total tax revenue to the
national budget during the next three years. However, the local governments
will not be guaranteed revenue from personal income tax at 100% of the forecast
included in the national budget as it was planned, if they had agreed to a 19.5%
share of tax revenue.
The projected amount of tax, non-tax and other revenue to the local
government budget in 2018 was approved at EUR 386.98 million (excluding revenue
from personal income tax).
