A number of rises proposed by the Cabinet in the budgetary-fiscal policy for 2016 will not be adopted by Parliament, Liberal-Democratic MP Valeriu Giletski said in the program “Place for dialogue” on Radio Moldova station, IPN reports.

“I refer to the vignette, land taxes and taxes on other means of transport. These new taxes weren’t well thought out. I don’t think it is fair for these taxes to be paid by people who travel daily by car and equally by those who keep a defective car in their garage,” stated the MP.

As to the vignette (road toll), Valeriu Giletski said the Cabinet should first reduce the taxes on the import of vehicles.

Ex-MP Veaceslav Ionita in the same program said the excises on the import of vehicles should be annulled and the value added tax should be introduced. “It is a paradox. For the luxury cars that only the rich can buy, the excise duties represent 5% of the car’s value. For the other cars, these can be of even 100%. So, for a car purchased for €3 000, the tax is almost the same amount. This is a tax of the poor,” he stated.
