The new document, dated March 13, sets a 6% increase of the taxable base on all types of housing.
The taxable base of buildings with reinforced concrete structures was raised from RON935/square meter to RON995 for buildings with water, sewage, electrical and heating installations, and from RON555/sqm to RON591 for buildings lacking such installations.
For buildings with outer walls made of wood or stone, the taxable value was raised from RON254/sqm to RON270 for those with installations, and from RON159/sqm to RON169 without installations.
Under the law, the taxable value of a building is determined by multiplying its built area, expressed in square meters, by price per square meter and adding an adjustment quotient depending on location.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta announced Monday the draft Tax Code and Tax Procedural Code will be sent to Parliament by March 25 at the latest, to go under urgent debate.
Ponta said he is considering passing the bills through a confidence vote if they are stalled in Parliament.
