Olguța Vasilescu, the mayor of Craiova, stated that local taxes cannot be recalculated based on property market value starting January 1, 2027, due to administrative and legal constraints. She emphasized that the necessary E-Proprietate application must be operational for new tax calculations, which is unlikely to happen in time. Vasilescu also highlighted that many local administrations are already finalizing tax rates for the upcoming year. She criticized the negotiation process of Romania's commitments under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, suggesting it could lead to higher costs for citizens. Additionally, she pointed out that despite increased taxes, revenue collection has fallen short of expectations, particularly affecting low-income pensioners.
