A more sophisticated theft, but more sophisticated
Instead of an increase in VAT and excise duty for all, with the consequence of reducing consumption and with the result of budget collapse, Better would be eliminated and VAT and excise for all products and services of strict necessity: food, water, utilities. Thus, poverty and budgetary effort required for social safety net would be reduced.
Rather than leaving the ear to the IMF « experts » and trembling with the fear of SRI, the Treasury would do well to put their hands and control and close the tap with which the great evaders steal VAT and excise duties, and the corporations do fiscal optimization (a theft, but more sophisticated). The logistics and staff effort would be much smaller.
Rather than increasing the income, profit and dividend tax, with the consequence of the explosion of tax evasion and the fugitive of foreign investors by Romania, the state would better tax the shareholder or associate, regardless of how many companies and pyramidal groups would have, alone or in association with others, on the principle of the « real beneficiary » of the Companies or of the NGOs. It is called tax transparency. It is a single tax that 99% of those who benefit from it (some liberal professions) pay voluntarily. Interestingly, the system is used everywhere in the EU, in the field of SMEs and liberal professions.
In this way, there would be no tax evasion except in the big criminals and tax optimization at the big companies. Here it could apply the presumption that fiscal optimization operations are cases of illicit competition, sanctionable with a fine of 10% of the turnover. There would be no need for SRI to come and pour selective evasion cases to the authorities, with the omission of the important and politically supported.
