Romanian business associations urge government to preserve current tax system

A coalition of eleven Romanian business associations, including Concordia, the Foreign Investors Council, Romanian Business Leaders, and various bilateral chambers of commerce, has issued a joint appeal calling on political parties to maintain the country's current tax framework and prioritise structural reform over immediate tax increases.

The business groups argue that the focus should be on eliminating special taxes - such as those on turnover and specific assets - and narrowing tax exemptions while ensuring fiscal consolidation through streamlined public administration, more efficient public spending, and improved absorption of European funds.
