He said some of the tax cuts planned to take effect as of 2017 may be applied as of next year based on this year’s results.

Ponta said the measures in question include the tax on dividends, which is set to drop from 16% to 5%, a higher revenue bracket for businesses in the micro-enterprise category, and a cap of five average wages on social security contributions owed by freelancers.

He added the ruling coalition will discuss the earlier adoption of these measures in the upcoming days.
