The state budget on 2015 is realistic, of growth and with development perspective for Romania, on Friday said Prime Minister Victor Ponta, in a speech in front of the two chambers of the Parliament, Agerpres reports.
"The budget we present in front of the plenary reunion of the Parliament passes to real things, not to political statements, which where being in plenty lately. As one could see, there is no increase of taxes and dues on 2015. (...) Even the most skeptical and unbelieving could see in the budget of 2015 that the flat tax strategy stays at the basis of its construction," the Gov't head said.
He added that the next year's budget includes beneficial measures for economy, such as the reinvested profit's tax exemption, more money allocated for investments, the VAT slashing for the all-inclusive tourism packages.
According to Ponta, the budget on 2015 covers the pensions' rise, the children's allowances' doubling and the indexing of the allowances for persons with disabilities.
"Likewise, the three years of additional allocations for two essential domains — education and health care, are confirmed. I'm asking for your support to keeping this correct direction: the increase of education and health care investments," the Prime Minister said.
