Big towns to lose out in new tax re-distribution scheme

A proposed re-distribution of tax revenue approved by the government on Wednesday would see bigger towns loose out to smaller ones. In line with an agreement reached between the governing parties smaller and medium sized towns would now get some 2,000 crowns more from state funds per inhabitant. If the amendment is approved by Parliament Prague would lose out on 650 million annually, Brno 203 million, Ostrava 158 and Plzen 90 million crowns less from state coffers as of 2013.
