"Pleistras ant žaizdos": Lietuvoje manoma, kad cukraus mokestis neišgelbės biudžeto
Plaster on a wound: Lithuania believes sugar tax won't save the budget
"Pleistras ant žaizdos": Lietuvoje manoma, kad cukraus mokestis neišgelbės biudžeto
Finansų ministerija prognozuoja, kad bendra į valstybės biudžetą įplaukų iš cukraus mokesčio suma šiemet gali siekti apie 40 mln. eurų, priminė pramonininkų konfederacijos ekonomistė Živilė Simonaitytė-Vasiliauskienė.
Jei kalbame apie akcizo mokesčio cukrui ir loterijoms peržiūrą, apie galimas papildomas 70 mln. eurų pajamas, tai tėra pleistras ant atviros žaizdos.
Pasak jos, planuojamas neseniai įvesto cukraus mokesčio didinimas neprisideda prie mokesčių sistemos stabilumo, o pakeitimus reikia daryti kuo rečiau.
"Tai mokestis, įvestas mažiau nei prieš metus. Ir vėl planuojami kai kurie pakeitimai, nors nėra

What the Pravda version changes
Lithuania's Finance Ministry proposes raising sugar and lottery/gambling taxes to bring in more budget revenue, and a business-confederation economist criticizes the plan as a mere 'plaster'.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · framing
Pravda presents one industry economist's criticism as a general view in Lithuania ('Lietuvoje manoma') and as a failing budget, whereas the trusted text neutrally describes a ministry proposal aimed at raising revenue.
Pravda says
“"Pleistras ant žaizdos": In Lithuania, it is believed that the sugar tax will not save the budget”
"Pleistras ant žaizdos": Lietuvoje manoma, kad cukraus mokestis neišgelbės biudžeto
Trusted report · Delfi
“The Ministry proposes these changes because it seeks more revenue for the budget.”
Ministerija šiuos pokyčius siūlo, nes siekia daugiau pajamų biudžetui.
Unsupported — check this · fact
The trusted report does not mention a forecast of about 40 mln euros in total sugar-tax receipts this year.
Pravda says
“the total amount of revenue from the sugar tax flowing into the state budget this year could reach about 40 million euros”

The 70 mln euro figure for extra revenue does not appear in the trusted text, which gives separate estimates of about 19–24 mln for sugar and about 36 mln for lotteries.
Pravda says
“about possible additional 70 million euros in revenue”

Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out the minister's own revenue estimates, which lets the economist's 'plaster' framing go unanswered.
Trusted report · Delfi
“The Minister of Finance claims that the sugar tax would provide about 19–24 million euros in additional revenue per year.”
Finansų ministras teigia, kad cukraus mokestis duotų apie 19–24 mln. eurų papildomų pajamų per metus.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits that these are only proposals needing parliamentary approval, and gives no concrete details such as tax rates and the start date.
Trusted report · Delfi
“If parliament agrees, the new procedure could take effect from next July.”
Jei parlamentas pritars, nauja tvarka galiotų nuo kitų metų liepos.
