PM Emil Boc: over 73% of the closed companies were inactive or illegal / The minimum tax cleaned the economy

Over 73% of the companies closed after the introduction of the minimum tax were inactive or used for illegal transactions and we can conclude that the tax reached its purpose as it cleansed some economic sectors, PM Boc declared quoted by Romanian news agency Mediafax.

Currently, the tax will be reconsidered and restricted to areas where we need to counter fiscal evasion like restaurants and hotels, Boc declared in the Senate. He added that the Finance ministry is currently analyzing the financial resources needed to cover the funds deficit resulting in the elimination of the minimum tax.
