The new tax of 2% imposed on economic entities on the purchase of agricultural products from private individuals will generate price rises and will diminish the rather small incomes of farmers, said the leader of the People’s Party of the Republic of Moldova (PPRM) Alexandru Oleinic, quoted by IPN.
“Instead of hastening the presentation of the fiscal policy for next year, which should be submitted to Parliament for examination by October 1, the MPs put forward different bill providing for the imposition of new taxes, which will directly lead to rises in the prices of the national agricultural products. The fact that the farmers who will want to sell their grapes, milk and wheat will get a low price is more serious as the 2% are actually put on the shoulders of the producers, not of the buyers. This is the care that the representatives of the Pro-European Coalition show to the people from villages,” said Alexandru Oleinic
On November 21, Parliament adopted a bill to impose a tax of 2% on the economic entities that will buy agricultural products from private individuals in the first reading. Practice shows that this category of producers sell their goods at low prices when they establish commercial relations with companies from the processing industry, including wine factories, canning factories, milk processing companies, etc.
