Higher tax breaks for some families backed by lower house lawmakers

A motion to give a 100 crown a month higher tax break for second children and a 300 crown a month higher break for each of the following children has been passed by the lower house. The measure could take effect from the start of this tax year. The government is committed to increasing tax breaks for families under its coalition agreement with the Christian Democrats. The proposal will now head to the upper house, the Senate. Some analysts have described the rise as relatively insignificant.
