Taxation outlook as per future governance programs

The flat tax will be eliminated, reads the ruling program of the PSD-PC Alliance, yet a 16% profit tax will be maintained, whereas the tax on below-average incomes will on the other hand be cut. PSD contends that it will apply a tax surcharge on high incomes. The tax on dividends will be diminished, but that on real estate transactions will increase. It is still unclear what the tax surcharge on the affluent will be.

The Democratic-Liberal Party wants to maintain the flat tax of 16%, but it will on the other hand scrap the tax on profit reinvested in technology, as well as some 100 minor taxes that put a bureaucratic burden on public administration.PD-L also wants implement a law of fiscal accountability holding the Finance Minister responsible for his service to the national interest.

The National Liberal Party intends to keep the flat tax at its current level (16%) and cut social security contributions by 10 pct. PNL also proposed the reduction of VAT on particular products subject to regulation or from the energy sector, to support the inflation curbing policy.

Another goal of the PNL rule is the removal of obstacles on business development by simplifying national law and enforcing community legislation.
