“It should leave the Parliament in a few days, then it will be sent to the President for promulgation,” Teodorovici stated Friday.
The Romanian Finance Ministry announced on May 15 that it decided to remove the recently implemented tax on gratuity because its implementation in all targeted sectors would be extremely difficult, although the taxation of tips was a measure introduced at the request of the business environment.
The finance minister had consultations on this issue with the representatives of companies operating in the hospitality, restaurant, catering fields (HORECA) and with taxi services representatives.
At that time, Teodorovici estimated that the measure would come into force on June 1.
According to an emergency ordinance passed on April 22, gratuity represented a sum of money customarily offered, in addition to the basic price for a service performed, and would be registered on a separate fiscal receipt, being subject to taxation.
