The 7 economic measures proposed by Caramitru. “So much you have in your head … taxes, taxes, taxes. I give it a company fuck.”

The well -known economist Andrei Caramitru proposes 7 economic measures meant to save Romania's economy from the huge budget deficit. Among the solutions, he advances the idea that all income – pension, salary, dividends – be considered the same and taxed according to the amount.

Romania should descend the deficit from 9.3% last year, to 7% this year in order not to risk suspending the country's access to PNRR money and cohesion funds. At the same time, Romania must transmit to the European Commission (EC) by the end of this month the measures it proposes to adjust the budget deficit.

Economist Andrei Caramitru proposes seven measures that should be taken “if they were not captured by clan interests. “

“In fact, the fees on wages are reduced especially the small and young ones and I compensate from the tax on real estate, profit, etc. I want to encourage work and investments“He explained on Facebook.

We play below the 7 measures:

1) profit tax – 20% for the profit removed, 10% on the reinvested one. To encourage investments, do not remove money. Dividends 16% and preg micro low.

2) VIS VAT – Mandatory !!!! Otherwise, the fraud continued there. That's essential.

3) all the revenues considered the same – pension, salary, dividends, copyright, etc. and taxed like this:

– under 2,000 lei: 0% profit, 5% health

– Between 2000 and 15000 lei: 20% profit+health

– over 15000: 20% profit+health, 5% for the additional employer (over gross); to large pensions directly 25%

– Decrease 5% if you have from 2 (or 3) children up or if you are under 25.

– some of the tax rate for the bank for the house can be deducted / decreased; And tax insurances can be reduced from taxes / health insurance is encouraged.

4) Who is not insured for health – it has to pay at least 50 ron per month. And everyone pays co-paying for interventions but no more than some level amounts. But – partial settlement is included in private hospitals! You pay but you have something extra!

5) Pension contribution: 25% now. I would change like this:

– 10% to 25

– 22% 25-45 years.

– 30% 45 and over (with the 5% extra paid by the employer).

6) Taxes on buildings / properties (which are the smallest in the world in Ro). Something simple: 2x growth in disadvantaged areas / undeveloped villages, 5x in developed cities (we reach the European average as a percentage of GDP). 25x if the property is in ruin. Everything doubled if he is owned by the company compared to the natural person over these levels. The difference goes to the central budget 50%, 50% remains local. The fee is divided into 12 and is added to the utility / e invoice collected (as in Greece).

7) VAT – it's ok to be 2 10/20%thresholds.

“So much you have in the head … taxes, taxes, taxes. I give it a company and I get hired in the state”

Caramitru's post had over 200 comments. Many commentators criticized him to focus only on taxes and not on reducing expenses:

“You are well documented on the tax side. However, you forgot about the special pensions and 80% increases received by many budgets. ”

“How to tax pensions? Do you want to kill the pensioners with small pensions? And so, I can barely survive. Maybe from a threshold, of 4500 lei, but do you tax from 1500 lei? How do you live a month with 1500 lei? Invoices, food, medicines? I hear? ”

“That is, at a 3 -room water that is now 900 lei 4500 lei?!”

“What tax is this and for what?”

“I paid the money tax to buy it pay rates at the bank I pay rainwater in Bucharest for what would I pay a tax of 1000 euros on my house?”

“Do I have it or share it with the state that gives me the state for this? ”

“In the Netherlands the first house is the value half of what you say.”

“Reducing the number of parliamentarians, taxing non -pensions, reducing the elected stiudes. From them nothing, from us, everything. ”

“No extra or greater fee until the deficit is solved by those who made it and/or benefited from it. Red Line, with the consequences of rigor. ”

“So much do you have in your head … taxes, taxes, taxes. I give it a fuck of the company and I work in the state. ”

“Property fee no to grow. That's why this real estate bubble. Everyone in politics is super-owners, some even tens and hundreds of buildings. Hence the friendship between the political class and the developers. He will never cut his crack under his feet. ”

“To go where these taxes? ”

“In a sack from where to run salaries of thousands of euros? ”

“That only the deficit is due to the dismantling, it really does not make sense to pay those who have worked and agonized for the huge salaries of others. ”

“It's a non-sensation. Okay, you pay taxes – if your money is used efficiently, do not throw in the wages of some. “
