Voice-SD: Matovic 'once again trying to reinvent wheel'

Finance Minister Igor Matovic "is once again trying to reinvent the wheel and is performing nonsensical marketing moves" with his tax reform concerning restaurants, the extra-parliamentary Voice-SD party has said, adding that ideas such as incorporating tips into the bill at 9 percent of the entire sum VAT-free, and forcing restaurants to serve customers a jug of water free of charge and offer half-portion meals on their menus "is but another example of his incompetence". The party said Matovic should not abuse his post in order to deal with his children's dissatisfaction with a specific establishment, and if he actually wanted to help restaurants, all he needed to do was to adopt Voice's proposal to cut VAT for the hospitality sector to 5 percent on a temporary basis and automatically raise it to 10 percent after a year.
