Strongly agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

Agree

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

While the Party of the European Left would support removing tax loopholes for large corporations, they might be less enthusiastic about lowering the income tax rate, especially if it diminishes the progressivity of the tax system.

Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax system, which taxes all income at the same rate, is generally opposed by leftist parties like the Party of the European Left because it fails to account for the principle of progressive taxation, where the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases.

Very strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Maintaining the current tax structure, if it is perceived as unfair or regressive, would be contrary to the Party of the European Left's goals of promoting social equity through progressive taxation.

Very strongly disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

Abolishing the income tax in favor of a higher sales tax would likely be viewed by the Party of the European Left as regressive, disproportionately affecting lower-income individuals, and thus strongly against their principles.
