Government officials are increasing tax policies but continuing with irregular expenditures at a time when they should focus on dampening the effects of the global economic downturn, an opposition official said Monday.
The passage of the 2010 national budget earlier this month includes taxes that will make difficulties for people already struggling in the depressed economy, said Yim Sovann, a spokesman for the Sam Rainsy Party, as a guest on “Hello VOA.”
“In our view, the burden on people by levies should be avoided at this time,” Yim Sovann said.
Taxes have been doubled for car owners, while a 0.1 percent tax on properties worth more than $25,000 has been put in place.
