Private sector employees could also receive holiday vouchers, according to a bill submitted to Parliament. Over 4.2 million Romanians would benefit from this measure, the cost of which will be borne by the Government.
If private sector employees pay the same taxes and duties as public sector employees, they should also benefit from these rights. This is the underlying idea from the initiators of the bill submitted to Parliament.
It will not be a budget deficit, given that 60% of this amount will return to the state in the form of VAT, income taxes, and duties.
If this project is approved, starting January 2024, all employees, whether they are in the public or private sector, would receive an annual holiday voucher worth 1,450 RON.
