Romanian Govt Already Regulated Car Tax Issue – PM

"The emergency ordinance on the pollution tax for cars also regulates refunds for the tax. The government has therefore taken this step before the Senate,” Tariceanu said.

The Romanian Senate in plenary session Tuesday adopted a daft law initiated by the Democratic Liberal Party which cancels the car tax and stipulates the money collected for the tax is to be paid back within 90 days of the payer’s request.

The legislative proposal amending Law no.571/2003, the Fiscal Code, with subsequent amendments, was adopted 45 to six votes and one abstention. Social democrats, conservatives and democrat liberals voted in favor of the proposal.
