President Klaus Iohannis CCR filed Tuesday a complaint challenging the constitutionality of the Law on repealing some taxes and tariffs, and amending and supplementing certain legal acts, according to the Presidential Administration.
The so-called law for repealing 102 taxes has a significant impact and lacks coherence and predictability, explained the spokesperson of the Presidential Administration, Madalina Dobrovolschi.
The Chamber of Deputies passed in October, by articles, the bill initiated by PSD party leader Liviu Dragnea that provides for the elimination of over 100 non-fiscal taxes.
Deputies did not agree with the report of the Budget and Finance Committee proposing that the radio and TV tax to remain in force. With only 39 deputies supporting the tax and the remaining 109 in the room objecting against it, the radio and TV tax will be repealed after the final vote on the bill.
The PSD’s leader specifically requested in the Parliament’s plenary for the radio-TV tax to be annulled and financing the two public institutions with money from the budget, as well as exercising an „effective parliamentary control of the achievement of the objectives set at the appointment of their management team.”
The opponents of these measures, including trade unions, accuse PSD that such a measure would lead to further politicizing these institutions.
