Romanian Investors Employer Association (PIAROM) sends the message to the Government that understands the rationale of eliminating the 5-salary threshold for CAS and CASS, but notes that the entrepreneurs are forced to deal with public policies lacking predictability in the current government as well.
To eliminate this drawback, PIAROM has officially submitted the request that „the valuable ideas for sustaining the business environment, such as the future law on prevention, the differentiated use of state aid and other measures explicitly stipulated in the government program, to be developed and promoted through a real consultation with the business environment.”
PIAROM, with the support of the Labour Inspection, analysed the macroeconomic impact of the measure to stop capping CAS and CASS, based on the data existing in the REVISAL system in October 2016, linked to the national average gross wage in the same period.
Based on the data collected, it is found that the publicly circulated figures are noticeably different from the economic realities.
