The Taxpayer (Luxembourgish: De Steierzueler, French: Le Contribuable, German: Der Steuerzahler)[1] was a political party in Luxembourg. It contested the 1999 election to the Chamber of Deputies, but disbanded afterwards.
The Taxpayer was a middle-class party that campaigned for lower government expenditure,[2] and more transparency in government budgetary spending. In 1999, it contested only the Centre constituency, in which it came eighth and last, with only 1.3% of the vote. This amounted to 0.4% nationwide.[3]
A disproportionate number of these votes were cast for the leader Jhemp Bertrand,[3] a long-time councillor in Schuttrange and tax resister who had run under a number of other party names before.[4]
