Tax on marriage raises controversy in Tunisia
[Al Ahram] Tunisians have shown a wave of cynicism on Twitter over the government's decision to impose taxes on marriage. Social media activists believe the decision will only increase the reluctance of young people to marry.
According to the new budget law, a new tax is to be imposed worth 30 Tunisian dinars (TNDs). The tax imposed on marriage is among many other taxes aimed at reducing the budget deficit. An official report revealed a high rate of spinsterhood in the country. The rate has increased to reach 60 percent this year. Posted by: Fred 2014-07-08 |
