The representative organizations of the Romanian business environment express their concern about the maintenance of the minimum turnover tax (IMCA), a taxation that discourages investments, erodes competitiveness and affects both Romanian and foreign investments.
In a global economic context marked by slowdown and a difficult fiscal context at home, Romania needs coherent and predictable fiscal policies that stimulate private investment and productivity and structural reforms that eliminate waste and the causes of current imbalances. The inconsistency in the decision-making process, reflected by changes in position in a very short period of time, sends contradictory signals to investors and increases the perception of risk on the Romanian economy.
Romania must reduce the deficit to below 3% by 2030. This goal cannot be achieved solely through tax increases—whether on individuals or companies—but requires complementary measures: reducing state spending, improving tax collection, and digitizing public administration. These efforts can only succeed alongside sustained economic growth, which this tax risks discouraging. Without concrete action in these areas, achieving the target will remain impossible.
