Abstract

Preamble of the Satversme provides that “Latvia is a democratic, socially responsible and
national state… solidarity, justice, honesty, work ethic and family are the foundations
of a cohesive society.” Preamble of the Satversme is the basis for legal actions by state
in order to implement it in real life for improvement of people’s welfare. Latvian
personal income tax system discriminates persons with low income and employees
in comparision with persons receiving income from capital. The author recommends
to reform the existing flat-tax taxation system, to increase tax burden of persons, who
receive their income from capital and to resume calculation of the minimum monthly
amount of money required to live in Latvia.
