For example, if a family is raising 2 children and the father and mother earn only the minimum monthly wage, the family would be entitled to compensation for heating the house according to preliminary calculations. A family with such a composition would also be entitled to compensation for the heating of the house if one of the parents earned an average monthly salary and the other was unemployed and unemployed.
With the approval of the Seimas, the modifications would take effect in 2022. January 1.
AS IT IS NOW. The poor are reimbursed for the portion of the heating tax that exceeds 10%. the difference between the income of the family or a resident and the size of the VRP.
