Romania To Increase Budget Earnings Through New Building, Land, Vehicle Tax System

The fiscal-budgetary strategy, approved by the Government on Wednesday, says the authorities will change fiscal legislation in order to allow a „balanced, fair and functional” system applicable to buildings, land and vehicles.

The Government expects this new system to increase earnings from RON4 billion in 2011 to RON4.3 billioon in 2012, RON4.5 billion in 2013 and RON5.1 billion in 2014.

A year ago, the Government doubled the tax on vehicles with an engine capacity of more than 2,000 cc and raised the taxes paid by owners of multiple buildings by 65% for the first building other than the owner’s residence, by 150% for the second such building and by 300% for subsequent buildings.
