The city of Pärnu wants a new tax. The tax is on vacation apartments.
Meelis Kukk speaks. He is the deputy mayor. The city organizes garbage collection. The city maintains spaces. The owner of a vacation apartment pays income tax. The income tax goes to another city's treasury.
The new tax applies to people who own multiple houses or apartments. The tax could be a property tax or a registration fee. Kukk thinks the tax should be divided among different cities.
This tax affects 8-10% of Pärnu's real estate. Irina Talviste says. She is a coalition partner. Talviste believes this is Kukk's idea, not the entire city's. The city government did not discuss this together.
Kukk responds. He says that the ministry asked for a response from all city members. He sent the response on time because no one else did. Kukk did his job.
