Bucharest Mayor Delays Tax Hike Decision After Meeting With Business Leaders

Nicușor Dan, Mayor of Bucharest, addressed concerns about potential tax increases during a press conference this morning. He stated, "We have a meeting at nine with business representatives. We will communicate immediately afterward. Obviously, they don't want tax increases. It's very logical from their perspective. We have a tax collection problem that we obviously won't solve in six months." Dan's comments follow recent discussions about raising the VAT rate. His commitment to providing a clear answer after his meeting with business leaders suggests that a decision on potential tax changes is imminent. The mayor's emphasis on the importance of supporting Romanian businesses underscores the economic sensitivity surrounding this issue.
