Bolojan announced on Wednesday the main austerity measures that will be applied from August 1, specifying that a common effort is needed so that Romania does not enter into payment.
– VAT will be reset to two odds. Today we have 3 odds: 5%, 9%and 19%. We relocate VAT to 11% and 21%. At the low quota there are medicines, food, water and sewerage, books, water for irrigation, firewood and thermal energy. And the Horeca industry remains at this level. If the receipts will not grow, then this industry certainly has high chances of entering the high share at the end of the year.
– The excise duties increase by 10%, for alcoholic beverages, fuels and tobacco.
– In health, we increase the number of contributors from 6 million to 8 million taxpayers. CASS is inserted at large pensions of over 3,000 lei. Exceptions are eliminated. For a pension of 4,000 lei, 10% will be paid on the difference between 4,000 lei and 3,000 lei, ie 10% of 1,000 lei, ie 100 lei. These measures enter into force from August 1, 2025.
– additional taxation of capital: on January 1, 2026 the tax on dividends is increased from 10% to 16%.
– Increasing the number of health contributors, we have 6 million contributors /and 16 million beneficiaries
It means two directions: applying CASS to pensions of over 3,000 lei and eliminating exceptions, A.î. to increase the taxpayers' wedding to 8 million e. To make a simple calculation means that the pensioners will pay 10% to the difference between the pension collected and the 3,000 lei.
“These measures will come into effect on August 1”, The prime minister pointed out.
