Communist MP accuses governing alliance of 'copying' its proposal

The legislative body Friday passed amendments to the Tax Code articles concerning VAT on agricultural products, Info-Prim Neo reports. Under the amendments, the VAT will be collected from the tax on the sale of agricultural products and raw material, not from the selling price of these products. Veaceslav Ionita, the head of the commission for economy, budget and finance, said these modifications have been long-awaited. “This bill exempts the producers from paying for losses,” he added. Communist MP Dumitru Todoroglu said the bill passed by the Parliament was copied by the ruling alliance from the legislative initiative that he submitted in February. The Communists also proposed reviewing the VAT for the processing industry.
