MP Badr Al-Ziyadi confirmed, Thursday, that it is not possible to impose a tax on the total salary of employees and raise the exchange rate of the dollar together through the budget law, while the House of Representatives will reject one of the paragraphs.
Al-Ziyadi said in a press statement that “the House of Representatives will have a position on raising the price of the dollar and imposing a tax on employees’ salaries and may resort to canceling one of the paragraphs,” noting that “the government has a responsibility to develop an effective plan to overcome the crisis.”
He added that “passing the tax on the total salary of employees and raising the exchange rate of the dollar together during the budget law for the next year is something that will not be achieved,” indicating that “the budget will need 30 days to complete it within the House of Representatives.”
The MP for the Al-Fateh Alliance, Mukhtar Al-Mousawi, confirmed, last Monday, that the House of Representatives will refuse to accept the draft federal budget bill for 2021.
Last Monday, Al-Fateh coalition deputy, Abdel-Amir Al-Taiban, called for the dismissal of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s government as soon as possible.
