The executive next week will return to a number of provisions of the 2014 budgetary-fiscal policy in order to analyze the discrepancies that appeared after it was adopted by Parliament. One of them concerns the diminution of excise duties on luxury vehicles, Prime Minister Iurie Leanca said in the opening of the February 12 meeting of the Government, quoted by IPN.
“The budgetary-fiscal policy was adopted by Parliament, but discrepancies appeared and we should examine the state of affairs. The submitted proposals will be discussed in the next meeting, when we will draw conclusions,” said the Premier.
The Liberal Party challenged the 43% decrease in the excise duties on luxury cars imported into Moldova in the Constitutional Court. MP Valeriu Munteanu has told IPN that the given reductions were included by Parliament in the budgetary-fiscal policy for this year without the Government’s appraisal. Thus, there was violated Article 131 of the Constitution, which provides that any legislative proposal or amendment to increase or reduce budget incomes or loans and to increase or reduce budget expenditure can be adopted only after they are approved by the Government.
