It includes record revenues and expenses.
The amount of new debt for next year reaches 10.5 billion euros. The social security burden is increasing by 10%.
The excise tax on tobacco and tobacco products is also being raised.
The main changes included in the budget, from which additional revenues are expected, are the increase in the dividend tax, the increase in part of the gambling taxes and the increase in social security contributions by 2 percentage points.
The most money is expected to be received from the increase in social security contributions, namely 601.2 million euros, which will accordingly reduce the transfer from the budget to the National Social Security Institute.

Business reacted sharply against the practice of the Ministry of Finance to release the state budget at the last minute before the trilateral cooperation council.
