There, he complained that he was being harassed so he would pay tax in new and higher rates.<\/p>\n<p>He also said he has received threats that his assets would be frozen. He explained that he should not have to pay the new rates while the rule is unresolved.<\/p>\n<p>But financial decision relies solely on Parliament\u2019s authority, according to Articles 80, 81 and 83.
