The Finance Ministry is preparing to propose to the Coalition a series of measures to combat tax evasion, such as tripling fines or certain conditions for a second company set up if the first is insolvent or bankrupt.

Minister of Finance Marcel Bolosh gave an interview to HotNews.ro.

“Those who do not pay will have increased sanctions, which we will apply earlier. We had a discussion with our colleagues, because we are focusing on the fact that the increase in fines for violations is tripled,” he said.

According to him, “it will also be possible to close the activity of the taxpayer, when already from the 3rd act, for example in 12 months, it will be found that we still have an offense.”

If that taxpayer “has a tax benefit received from us and is found to be evading taxes and not complying with tax discipline, the business may be closed and of course the tax benefit may be revoked.”

“Also, cash transactions will no longer have such high ceilings,” Bolos said.

• “At the moment it is not regulated, but we know very well that cash transactions give rise to black payments, and then we will try to reduce these ceilings.

• “Also, we are trying to ensure that those who create a company for the second time, even though the first one is in a state of bankruptcy or judicial liquidation, or outstanding debts are registered in the state budget, have 10 times the initial social capital. “He will have to contribute 10 times the initial social capital
