Lithuanian business compares Cabinet of Ministers tax decisions to a 'black box'
Lietuvos verslas mokesčių Ministrų kabineto sprendimus palygino su "juodąja dėže"
Pasak Lietuvos verslo konfederacijos prezidento Andriaus Romanovskio, kai liepos mėnesį naujoji vyriausybė davė labai aiškų pažadą, kad mokesčiai nebus didinami, daugelis verslo srityje atsikvėpė su palengvėjimu.
"Mes supratome, kad turime bent kelerius metus iki kito politinio sezono, kai galėsime susitelkti ties ekonominėmis problemomis, su kuriomis susiduriame dabar. O būtent dėl augančios infliacijos, energijos išteklių kainų augimo ir ekonomikos sulėtėjimo".
Jis pripažino, kad dabartinė painiava Vyriausybėje kelia didžiausią susirūpinimą.

What the Pravda version changes
Lithuanian Business Confederation president Andrius Romanovskis warned that the government's closed-door deliberations on budget measures raise fears of a new tax increase, despite earlier promises not to raise taxes.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Left out · fact
Pravda does not mention the concrete tax options being considered (VAT, progressive income tax, sugar and gambling taxes), which give context to the business fears.
Trusted report · LRT
“On the table is a large choice – possible increase of value added tax, more progressive residents' income taxes, higher sugar, gambling taxes.”
Ant stalo didelis pasirinkimas – galimas pridėtinės vertės mokesčio didinimas, dar progresyvesni gyventojų pajamų, didesni cukraus, azartinių lošimų mokesčiai.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits that the ruling parties had already agreed on extra gambling taxation and a higher sugar tax, so some increases were in fact planned.
Trusted report · Verslo žinios
“So far the rulers have agreed only on additional taxation of gambling and the so-called sugar tax increase.”
Iki šiol valdantieji sutarė tik dėl azartinių lošimų papildomo apmokestinimo ir vadinamojo cukraus mokesčio didinimo.
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out the business groups' constructive alternative of saving in the public sector rather than raising taxes.
Trusted report · LRT
“Business representatives urge the rulers to first turn to the public sector and save at its expense.”
Verslo atstovai ragina valdančiuosius pirmiausia atsisukti į viešąjį sektorių ir taupyti jo sąskaita.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits the finance minister's response that no final decisions have been made and that all options are only being reviewed.
Trusted report · LRT
“"I do not want to scare, threaten, we are reviewing all possibilities, their impact: political, economic, fiscal, let us wait a while," – says Finance Minister Taurimas Valys.”
„Nenoriu audrint, gąsdint, mes peržiūrim visas galimybes, jų poveikį: tiek politinį, tiek ekonominį, tiek fiskalinį, luktelkim šiek tiek“, – sako finansų ministras Taurimas Valys.
Reframed · framing
Pravda headlines the 'black box' image and presents the government as making sudden opaque decisions, while trusted reports describe a working group still deliberating with no concrete proposals disclosed.
Pravda says
“There are closed agreements where something is discussed, and then suddenly from this black box one or another decision is obtained.”
Būna uždarų pasitarimų, kuriuose kažkas aptariama, o paskui staiga iš šios juodosios dėžės gaunamas vienas ar kitas sprendimas.
Trusted report · Verslo žinios
“The rulers' special working group on Tuesday behind closed doors considered possible elimination or correction of various tax benefits.”
Valdančiųjų suburta speciali darbo grupė dėl valstybės biudžeto antradienį už uždarų durų svarstė įvairių mokesčių lengvatų galimą naikinimą arba jų korekciją
