The incomes collected by the State Main Tax Inspectorate in the first month of this year were by 13% (65m lei) higher than the projected amounts and by over 30% larger compared with the corresponding period last year, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué from the institution.

The Tax Inspectorate explained that the rise is due to the adoption of new practices in the relations with taxpayers. Emphasis is put on voluntary compliance and on the training of the Inspectorate’s employees.

In January, the collected amounts came to 575 million lei.

Incomes of 25.68 billion lei are to be collected this year. 80% of this sum will represent taxes.
