PSD President Marcel Cholaku returns to the topic of taxing the wealth of companies, which, according to him, received “record profits after the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.” The PSD leader invites the Romanian business environment to discuss this issue in the coming months.

“I firmly believe that in Romania there is a need for a solidarity tax on everything that means the wealth accumulated against the background of the crisis of the last two years, due to really unrealistic profits. In this way, the state will collect the necessary resources to help both the millions of Romanians facing the cost of living crisis and Romanian companies, especially SMEs,” the PSD president wrote on his Facebook page.

Ciolacu says that together with the business environment in Romania, he wants to reach a possible solution that will lead to “greater social solidarity and greater economic justice.”

The topic of the solidarity tax was launched by the PSD back in 2021, when it entered the government together with the PNL. In June of last year, PSD revived this topic and insisted in the Coalition on the introduction of a solidarity tax for large companies.

At that time, the PSD proposed in the Coalition a percentage of 0.5% of the turnover of large companies, and the UDMR proposed a percentage of 1%, while the PNL did not support the introduction of this tax.
