Parliament Rejects Proposal to Raise Student Tax Relief Ceiling

Slovakia's parliament rejected a proposal by the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) to eliminate the 200-euro monthly income ceiling for tax relief benefits available to students and those working under short-term agreements. The ruling coalition voted down the opposition party's measure, which would have also provided tax breaks for businesses. Students and workers on temporary contracts will continue to face the current income limit for claiming tax deductions on their earnings.
