Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca said on Wednesday, when asked about an amendment submitted by senators from the ruling coalition for a 50% increase in local rates and taxes, that the decision was taken inside the coalition, noting that the option regarding the establishment of these taxes according to notarial grids was postponed after the local administrations warned that that was impossible to achieve before the end of the year.
Ciuca added that it is about "a decision that was taken in the coalition."
Finance Minister Adrian Caciu said on Wednesday that PSD and PNL senators submitted an amendment to Ordinance 16/2022 updating the property tax grid.
Asked how much taxes could increase, the minister answered that it is not necessarily to increase them, because in the grid approved in 2015, the administrations have a margin for setting taxes.
