Teodorovici added that he asked the President whether he wants to have talks over the Tax Code, without getting a positive answer. The minister added that it was unprofessional to make such a decision without having talks first.
President Klaus Iohannis on Friday refused to sign the new Tax Code into law and sent it back to Parliament for reexamination, calling for a closer look at its implications on the state budget.
The head of state said in his reexamination request he supports fiscal relaxation through the reduction of certain taxes as long as conditions for fiscal consolidation and predictability are met, adding the country’s new Tax Code may be applied only after a thorough analysis of its overall impact on the 2016 state budget and beyond, while observing the country’s commitments.
