"Not taxing the reinvested profit must be enacted by changing the Tax Code. Any change in the Tax Code must be announced six months before coming into force, so I do not think the measure will be enacted this year, but, most probably, as of January 1, 2010," Nita said.
Prime Minister Emil Boc said Wednesday that the Government will negotiate with the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission on exempting from tax companies’ reinvested profit, an incentive that should have been enforced since April or May.
In the Convergence Program sent to the European Commission by the Romanian Government, the reinvested profit tax exemption is presented in general, with no specification regarding the coming into force and with no budgetary impact.
