A legislative proposal aims to amend the tax code to eliminate double health insurance contributions for employees with additional income. The change would mean that contributions are only owed on income exceeding 120,000 lei annually. Currently, employees pay contributions from their salaries and again on other income sources, leading to double taxation. The new proposal would exempt employees from paying contributions on additional income as long as it remains below the threshold. This change is justified by the argument that employees already have health insurance coverage through their salary contributions. The initiative seeks to encourage additional work and investments without penalizing employees for seeking extra income.
