President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca called on the government to extend a tax beak given to the Malta Community Chest Fund (MCCF) to all the other non-governmental organisations.
Speaking during the launch of L-Istrina 2015, President Coleiro Preca said that all NGOs should be put on level playing field.
Last week, the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations criticised the government for giving a tax break solely for donations given to the MCCF.
L-Istrina this year will be held at the Cottonera Sports Complex and is being coordinated by Jason Busuttil.
