Romanian Govt To Keep VAT At 19%, Flat Tax At 16%

Boc said the government will approve the 2010 state budget next week and Parliament will convene an extraordinary session by mid-January to approve it.

Boc added other goals in the governing program are the application of the results of a national referendum held in November, which entails the reduction of the Parliament to a single chamber and a maximum 300 lawmakers from the current 471.
