Finance Minister Mouchka Salama Khaldi stated on Monday, during the plenary session reviewing the 2026 Finance Bill, that the government is working to develop solutions that benefit all social groups, promote employment, and strengthen the general compensation fund, while imposing taxes on sectors capable of contributing to the national economy.
Responding to a proposal to add an article exempting soft drink industries from the 3% turnover levy, the minister clarified:
“We are not putting pressure on businesses. Any company that generates income and posts strong revenues should naturally help finance the economy—whether through levies or taxes—and contribute to the State budget.”
She also reminded lawmakers of Article 69 of the Constitution, which stipulates that legislative proposals or amendments submitted by members of Parliament cannot be accepted if they risk undermining the State’s financial balance.
