Local public authorities will have more possibilities for increasing budget
The local tax collection services of the municipalities of Chisinau and Balti will have fiscal administration functions, as stipulated in the amendments approved by the Government to a number of legislative documents on the fiscal and budgetary policy for 2010, Info-Prim Neo reports.
The measure forms part of the local fiscal administration and administrative decentralization principles under implementation.
The modifications envision the doubling of the maximum tax on territory cleaning and the 50% rise in the tax paid by retail outlets and service providing units.
It is proposed raising the highest tax on cleaning of settlements located in border districts that have customs posts for buses, minibuses, trucks and tractors with trailers from 10 lei to 40 lei by annulling it for cars, tractors, motorcycles, scooters, carts, etc.
The implementation of the second stage of the property taxation system according to the market value from 2010 will constitute an important source for increasing the budgets of the territorial-administrative units. This stage covers garages and the plots on which they are built, plots owned by agricultural associations, with or without constructions on them, and the commercial facilities.
The property tax is paid into the local budgets.
