TY - JOUR TI - Besides substance much space in the statement of assets of the public utilities AB - According to a legislative intent, specific tax reliefs in favour of the economy shall give an effective incentive for a recovery of the stagnating economic situation and a reduction of the high unemployment. Special attention is paid to the reduction in taxes being independent of profits. These commendable efforts of the legislative are, however, energetically undermined by a petty and tightened application of law on the part of the executive: what the one hand of the state generously spreads out, busily collects the other once again. The following remarks show that the public utilities partly force in the field of administration, partly have, however, an artificially inflated property because of their own softness, and pay much too high property taxes compared with other sectors of the economy.
