The government has approved a draft budget measures bill, cutting taxes on gambling winnings compared to initial proposals.

The draft law approved by the government on Friday includes budget measures that change the taxation of gambling winnings. Although a significant tax increase was originally proposed, the final form has reduced these increases. Thus, winnings up to 10,000 lei will be taxed at 4%, and for winnings between 10,000 and 66,750 lei, the tax will be 400 lei plus 20% of the amount exceeding 10,000 lei. The 40% rate for high earners remains, but with an adjustment to the fixed amount. The bill will be adopted on a vote of no confidence without parliamentary debate.
