Federation argues for lower municipal taxes ahead of local elections in Faroe Islands

The Federation of Employers in the Faroe Islands cannot solely determine how municipalities should be governed, according to the chairman of the Municipal Association. This statement comes after the Federation urged local governments to consider lowering municipal taxes following the upcoming local elections.

The Federation argues that a lower municipal tax rate would enhance the competitiveness of the Faroe Islands. Tórbørn Jacobsen emphasized that it is the municipal councils that ultimately decide how local governance should be structured.
