No, keep the current tax structure

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

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Slightly agree

Reform to a flat tax

While the EPP supports fiscal conservatism, the idea of a flat tax, though appealing in its simplicity, may not align perfectly with the party's broader economic and social goals. The EPP might consider it, but with caution, due to the potential impacts on income distribution and social equity.

Strongly disagree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would represent a radical shift in tax policy that the EPP, as a mainstream conservative party, is unlikely to support. Such a policy could be seen as regressive, disproportionately affecting lower-income individuals, which could conflict with the party's social market economy principles.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

Raising taxes across all income brackets would be contrary to the EPP's principles of fiscal conservatism and their general approach to taxation, which usually emphasizes low taxes to stimulate economic growth and attract investment.
