Let me remind you that since April 2020, the government has taken a number of anti-crisis measures aimed at preserving jobs and preventing wage declines.
These official figures prove that these measures have been effective. I would like to remind you that the above-mentioned figures were based exclusively on the reports submitted by the economic entities and these figures are the basis of the tax liabilities of the economic entities", the Prime Minister wrote.
