However, after the 1980s, as tax rates decreased, employees preferred cash over cultural benefits, leading to a decline in corporate support for culture. The shift from a culture-focused corporate environment to a more utilitarian one was influenced by changes in tax rates.

A fair tax on immovable property is suggested to combat tax evasion and incentivize property owners to rent out vacant properties.
