OPINION ⟩ We don’t need “children’s” taxes

The Tartu University Institute of Society Research Director Peeter Espak has proposed a tax on child benefits, shifting away from previous discussions of a “tax on childlessness” due to concerns about the term’s offensiveness. The proposal centers on ensuring the sum of payments for a child does not fall below the average monthly expenses, aiming to provide families without children with a sense of financial certainty regarding the future. The discussion involves a tax related to families without children.
