EC officials to present their stand on the new Romanian first car registration tax

The European Commission will present later this week its stand on the new version of the first car registration tax made up by Bucharest officials, communitarian sources declared for HotNews.ro. Romanian experts team will discuss with Commission experts on Wednesday, February 27, the new project regarding the car tax.

The new version of the tax introduces supplementary criteria in the taxing calculus for euro 4 cars: CO2 emissions. Romanian authorities have previously presented, on January another modified version of the car tax and argued at the moment that they received the Commission’s approval for the calculus.

European Commission officials need to accept the new version, as Romania is, for a year now, in the infringement procedure which clearly shows that Bucharest officials breached EU regulations with the car tax.
