I, being a social democrat, am a fan of the progressive tax system. I agree with the single rate, but it should be the same for everyone, and exceptional incomes around the world are taxed differently

Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu declared, on Wednesday, in an interview with DCNews, that, being a social democrat, he is “a fan” of the progressive taxation system. He added that he agrees with the single rate, but “it should be the same for everyone”, and “exceptional incomes around the world are taxed differently”.

Ciolacu stated that the tax reform is a milestone in the PNRR.

“We no longer know what tax system we are in – single rate, progressive. I, being a social democrat, am a fan of the progressive system, but I do not rule out a single quota, but a single quota is a single quota. You cannot buy land for 10,000 euros, sell it for 10 million and be taxed at 1%.

I agree with a single quota, but let it be a single quota for everyone, the same for everyone. But exceptional incomes are taxed differently all over the world,” the PSD leader also declared.

The Prime Minister stated that the World Bank and the European Commission are doing studies and will come up with several options.

“I can’t have low taxation, not have any kind of control and information from the Ministry of Finance, because I have no digitization, no digitization in any town hall and tax evasion of almost 10% of GDP. It cannot continue like this,” Ciolacu said.
