HORA avertizează asupra riscului unei noi majorări de TVA: „Un salt la 21% ar afecta grav industria”

The hospitality industry can manage the current 11% VAT rate, but a rise to 21% would create significant challenges for restaurants and hotels, warns HORA. Many entrepreneurs have already absorbed the increase from 9% to 11% to avoid passing costs to consumers. A jump to 21% would severely impact the entire economic chain, affecting suppliers as well. The sector provides around 202,500 jobs and contributes significantly to budget revenues through payroll taxes. Recent price increases are attributed to rising costs of raw materials, energy, and logistics, not just restaurant pricing strategies.
