Romania's 40 Billion Lei Question: USR Demands Answers on Tax Evasion

Romania's Missing Billions: USR Deputy Demands Answers on Tax Evasion Romania is grappling with a significant financial shortfall, with an estimated 40 billion lei lost annually due to tax evasion. This alarming figure has prompted USR deputy Allen Coliban to publicly demand answers from the Romanian government. In a recent video, Coliban highlighted the impact of this lost revenue, stating, "40 billion lei is the sum that is not collected annually to the state budget because of tax evasion." This amount, he emphasized, is crucial for meeting the country's deficit targets. Coliban has taken concrete action by sending an official inquiry to the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), questioning their efforts to combat this widespread problem. He is awaiting their response and a detailed report on the measures taken to address tax evasion in the past 15 years. The situation underscores the need for increased transparency and accountability in how Romania manages its finances and combats tax evasion, a critical issue impacting public services and economic stability.
