The president of PSD, Marcel Ciolacu, said on Tuesday, April 25, that the governing coalition discussed the additional taxation of accumulated pension income and state salary, where they exceed the president's allowance, approximately 25 thousand gross lei.
According to Agerpres, the measure would be debated after the Ministry of Finance comes up with an analysis on the impact of such a proposal.
"We are talking about the cumulation of salary and special pension, we are only talking about the budgetary area. At that moment, if through that cumulation you exceed, for example, the gross salary of the president, which is approximately 25.000 lei, if it is constitutional to do this, it is normal to come up with additional taxation, because there are two revenues, both from the state budget. I think the correct approach is the area of taxation, of thresholds, not on additional taxes, not double taxation, and this is where the Ministry of Finance will come and present to us how the incomes are and how many people exceed the president's gross salary", explained the president of the PSD, Marcel Ciolacu.
On the other hand, Marcel Ciolacu also said that there was no discussion within the coalition about cutting the salaries of the budget workers or about freezing the incomes.
