Sickness tax – the 10% contribution from sick leaves – again to the vote of the deputies. Introduced at the beginning of the year, the tax measure caused a wave of reactions. The ruling coalition has been promising since January to change the law. The opposition criticizes the power.
Today, MPs could eliminate the “sickness tax” for some categories of people – such as cancer patients and pregnant women
Several USR MPs ask the PSD and PNL MPs that, today, the final vote in the Chamber of Deputies should not be postponed, and the tax should be canceled at least for a few categories.
This is what Oana Țoiu, USR deputy, said yesterday.
“We are sending Mr. Boloș a letter, in which he receives formal questions, so that he is forced to admit by his signature that he lied to the Romanians and that cancer patients are also affected by the disease tax, and parents of children with cancer and working mothers who have given birth, and those who have high-risk pregnancies and need a few days of rest”said Oana Țoiu, USR deputy.
According to the data presented by USR, so far the state has collected almost 30 million euros from this tax.
Under public pressure, leaders of the ruling coalition said a decision would be made “this week”.
