In the first quarter of 2025, income tax revenues from salaries increased by 17.6% year-on-year, totaling 10.9 billion lei
According to the State Tax Service (SFS), this result is explained, among other things, by the tax authority's increased attention to measures to prevent and counteract “undeclared” employment and payment of salaries “in envelopes”. In January-March, the SFS checked more than 2.5 thousand tax audits of economic agents. As a result, the violators paid additional salary taxes to the budget for 182 million lei - 27% more than in 2024: 32.7 million lei were additional income tax liabilities (+32%), contributions to the state social insurance budget - 109 million lei (+26.4%), contributions to the mandatory health insurance fund - 40.6 million lei (+25%). The SFS detected violations of the legislation in the field of labor relations in 26 economic agents, additionally calculating taxes, penalties and fines of 3.2 million lei, of which about 2.2 million lei have already been paid. It is noted that the additionally calculated amounts were almost 80% less than in the same period last year. The SFS explains this trend, among other things, by the large number of companies included in the plan of state audits for 2024. // 23.04.2025 - InfoMarket.
