Employer representatives yesterday walked out on negotiations on the norms to apply the new Fiscal Code held with government officials, stating that they oppose the emergency ordinance regarding the code changes.
On the other hand, fiscal advisors say that norms regarding the implementation of the lump-sum tax and no deductibility of value added tax (VAT) for vehicle acquisitions are unclear for taxpayers.
“We oppose increasing taxation for small enterprises during the crisis. Likewise, the government did not comply with or apply any of the measures set in the program to counter the crisis,” according to UGIR-1903 employer union President, Cezar Coraci. Although the government promised to put into effect measures to boost the economy, “we see that the cancelling of taxes for reinvested profit has been postponed for next year, while the lump-sum tax is calculated based on last year’s data,” he added.
Finance Ministry State Secretary Gratiela Iordache replied that the ministry took all the steps and followed procedures for talks with employer unions, and that discussions will continue with all those interested.
