Slovak Cities Union Warns Against Income Tax Exemption for Working Mothers

The Union of Slovak Cities has issued a warning against a proposed income tax exemption for working mothers that the ruling Hlas-SD party plans to introduce before the end of the current parliamentary term. Hlas-SD, a social-democratic party that forms part of Slovakia's governing coalition alongside Smer-SD and the Slovak National Party, wants to eliminate income tax obligations for employed mothers. The cities union expressed concerns about the potential fiscal impact of such a measure, though specific details about their objections were not elaborated. The proposal represents part of Hlas-SD's broader social policy agenda as the current government seeks to implement key initiatives before the next parliamentary elections.
