Ep.56 Pēteris Strautiņš - Latvijā dzīvot ir interesanti

Tax Stories: Life, Business & Tax ·

2024/03/25

Kopumā pēc intervijas palika gaišs, pozitīvs skats uz dzīvi, komplektā ar atziņu, ka nodokļu sistēma diez vai būtiski ietekmē ekonomikas attīstību valstī. Savukārt, VID nereti ir tikai vēstnesis, kas ‘redzot tādas bilances, kur pat akmenim jāraud’, pasaka biznesam, ka tā modelis nav ilgtspējīgs. Turklāt, ēnu ekonomikas sarukums var samazināt pieprasījumu pēc skaidras naudas. Un ar saukli ‘es nemaksāju nodokļus, jo neticu valstij’ patiesībā cilvēks varbūt meklē attaisnojumu savai rīcībai.
