Sorin Grindeanu: As a general policy, I encourage a fiscal system with as low taxes as possible
PSD chairman Sorin Grindeanu declared on Wednesday that he encourages, as a general policy, a fiscal system with as low taxes as possible.
Grindeanu was asked if, if he comes to power, he would lower the value added tax.
'I don't want to get into issues of this type. As a general policy, I encourage a fiscal system with as low taxes as possible. It should be a target to return to this, but these measures can be taken following some analyses,' he told Adevărul.ro.
He added that he would not want to make promises that he could not keep.
'But if I could, I would do it. If the economic data looks good, if things are going in the right direction, I think anyone would make such a decision, if they could,' Grindeanu said.AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Dana Piciu, editing by: Antonia Nita; EN - writing by: Catalin Cristian Trandafir)
