Gabriel Biriș warns that taxing properties based on market value could significantly increase taxes for homeowners in Bucharest, especially affecting pensioners. He illustrates this with an example where the annual tax for a house valued at 1 million euros could rise from 1,044 lei to 27,500 lei if luxury tax is applied. Biriș emphasizes that such a law could force long-term residents to sell their homes. The government plans to gradually implement this tax reform, but the timeline remains uncertain, with potential delays until 2027. Concerns about the valuation methods and their implications for property owners have been raised, particularly regarding the impact on low-income pensioners.
