The new taxation system for restaurants and hotels will no longer be applied from January 1, 2016, but at the earliest from the spring of next year, possibly from March, because the normative act introducing the new taxes has not yet been approved by Parliament.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So far, the document has received favorable opinions from the economic and budget committees in the Senate, with the possibility of being approved this week in the Senate plenary.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, parliamentarians will go on vacation in January, so the project can only be discussed in the Chamber of Deputies starting in February, which is why the new taxes cannot be introduced earlier than the spring of next year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The initiator of the normative act, deputy Mircea-Titus Dobre, stated that the project is registered for debate under an emergency procedure and will likely become applicable in March of next year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to the normative act, restaurants, pizzerias, and shaorma shops in central Bucharest will pay, based on the future system, an annual tax starting from over 11,000 RON for units with an area of up to 30 sqm, and exceeding 38,000 RON for very large units of over 800 sqm, with comparable amounts to be paid by establishments in the centers of other large cities, such as Bra\u0219ov, Constan\u021ba, Cluj-Napoca. For bars and nightclubs, the lowest annual tax in Bucharest will exceed 5,300 RON, and in resorts, there will be differentiated taxes between the coast and the mountain area.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A 1 or 2-star hotel in central Bucharest will pay an annual tax of 223 RON per accommodation spot, while a luxury 5-star hotel will be taxed at 891 RON\/spot, while taxes for hotels in other cities will start from 135 RON\/spot and reach about 580-650 RON\/spot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Guesthouses in cities will be taxed about 100 RON less, taxes in tourist resorts will be lower, while 3-5 star hotels on the outskirts of small towns will pay more than in municipalities.<\/div>\n
