Law on abolition of special pensions passed by parliament / PSD and PNL amendments: reform delayed for 5 years and will be completed in 2043 / Tax only 15%, not 30% as originally announced

Last week, the parliament adopted the draft law on the abolition of special pensions contested by the Higher Council of Magistracy.

The draft law has undergone changes compared to the version adopted by the government and agreed with European officials. More precisely, PSD and PNL parliamentarians introduced derogations and exceptions that postpone the application of the reform for the next 5 years and extend the abolition of special pensions for 20 years. The UDR refused to vote for the bill, saying it did not abolish any special pensions.

Parliamentarians from the PSD and the PNL made changes in the relevant committees to the draft law regulating the status of special pensions, compared to the version presented by the government. Thus, according to the new amendments, prosecutors and judges can retire until 2028 under the same conditions as before, that is, regardless of age, with 25 years of experience and a pension in the amount of 80% of the gross allowance and allowances for the last month of activity .

In particular, the amendment establishes a five-year grace period for special pensioners.

For other categories of special pensioners and military pensioners for the next five years, the same conditions of retirement, which are provided by the current legislation, apply.

The initiators of the amendment are parliamentarians PSD and PNL, who argued that this provision is necessary “to support the activity of those who will meet the conditions of retirement, without destabilizing the social system by the retirement of a very large number of workers.”

Another change compared to the anticipated and announced version is that only 15% of special pensions above 4,000 lei net will be taxed, instead of 30% as originally announced.

Next year, the retirement age will be gradually increased: from 50 years in 2024 to 60 years in 2035.
