According to the Minister of Finance, Lasha Khutsishvili, in 2023, the so-called Estonian model of profit tax will not apply to the financial sector.­

As the Minister of Finance said at the briefing after the session in the Government Administration, it will be known later as to what will be the long-term taxation policy of the sector.

"As for the profit tax, it should be noted that the so-called Estonian model of profit tax will not apply to the financial sector next year. It was possible to see this from the presented budget. Naturally, the fiscal effect of this is quite significant in the direction of reduction. We have not reflected this type of reduction in the profit tax in the budget. In the following year, the sector will not be transferred to the so-called Estonian model of profit tax, that is, on the distributed tax model. It will be known later as to what will be the long-term taxation policy of the sector," said Lasha Khutsishvili.
