The value of tax revenues is 5.7% higher than the RON128.63 billion collected in January-September 2013.
According to ANAF, the state budget revenues increased 5.1% on the year to RON91.9 billion, which is 0.1% above the plan.
Collections from the value added tax, which is the biggest contributor to the budget as it accounts for more than a third of the state budget revenue, rose just 0.8% to almost RON38 billion. Excise duties, however, increased 11.2% to RON17.1 billion, mainly due to a higher exchange rate used to calculate the tax, but also to improved collection. The corporate profit tax added RON9.97 billion to the budget, 13.1% more than in the first nine months of 2013.
The amounts collected from health insurance rose almost 15% on the year to RON13.89 billion in January-September.
Collection also rose for the social contributions, ANAF said, by 3.8% at the public pension budget and by 4.4% at the employment benefits budget.
