The website "International Information" published a report regarding the 2024 budget law project, in which Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati urged the Cabinet to study a draft law imposing taxes on coffins of the deceased, with implementation starting from September 7. The proposal has sparked controversy and outrage on social media, and includes: "the introduction of a consumption tax to protect the environment, which would apply to human corpses' coffins." However, the law does not specify how to evaluate the coffins for taxation purposes.
