Biris, about the fiscal measures: We closed Romania for investments

October 26, 2023

Romania will be closed for new investments as no investor will accept to invest in a country where he has to pay taxes before recovering his losses, stated on Wednesday Gabriel Biris, partner with Biris Goran, at the digital professional debate:’ What have we got out of it? The effects of the fiscal measures package on the economy’, organized by the Coalition for Freedom of Commerce and Communication. He stated that the situation was created as a result of the fact that ‘the budget for 2023 was wrong’ and the Ministry of Finance’ inflated revenues and committed expenditures’ but the revenues were not realized.According to Biris, the measures affecting the Fiscal Code could be divided in two, namely measures coming in an area of normality and measures with negative impact.‘The measures in the Fiscal Code, I would divide them in two categories. I will start with the less damaging, those I consider in an area of normality, namely the changes for microenterprises and some changes as regards the basis for calculating social security contributions for self-employed persons’ said Gabriel Biris.On the other hand, he stated that there are toxic changes, mentioning turnover tax, saying that it is an income tax.Similarly, he referred to supplementary taxation of 2% for the banks, saying that it will affect the health of the banking system. At the same time, he mentioned the supplementary tax for the oil and gas industry, measure which will affect Romgaz, Petrom and Black Sea Oil&Gas.
