Meinl-Reisinger Proposes 'Reform Dividend' for Taxpayers
NEOS leader and Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger announced a 'reform dividend' during an ORF summer talk. If the federal government exceeds its deficit target, half of the excess would go towards debt reduction and the other half would be distributed as tax relief to the population. This could happen as early as the election year 2029. Meinl-Reisinger also discussed the heatwave and farmers' compensation, stressing that there should not be a 'whatever it takes' approach. Her appearance sparked debate, with some criticizing the proposal as an election sweetener.5 sourcesSee all sources
