Deputy Lucian Mușat from AUR emphasizes the increasing tax pressure on Romanian entrepreneurs and advocates for tax reductions to boost the economy. He criticizes the Senate's rejection of AUR's proposal to lower the dividend tax from 16% to 8% and urges the adoption of two other projects aimed at increasing the micro-enterprise threshold and reducing VAT for first-time home purchases. Mușat highlights the negative impact of high dividend taxes on capital distribution and reinvestment, leading to liquidity issues in the economy. He argues that a more reasonable tax policy would encourage investment and compliance, ultimately benefiting the state through increased economic activity. AUR also calls for raising the micro-enterprise threshold back to 500,000 euros to support small businesses. Additionally, reducing VAT to 9% for first homes would help young families and the construction sector, addressing Romania's demographic decline.
