The Minister of Energy, Bogdan Ivan, discussed the minimum tax on turnover and its effects on the Petromidia refinery, which is facing complaints related to taxation.

Bogdan Ivan explained that the minimum tax on turnover (IMCA) affects companies in the energy sector, including the Petromidia refinery, which has reported issues related to taxation. The refinery, despite increasing its turnover, continues to record losses. The government is analyzing ways to support improving its profitability. IMCA was reintroduced at the request of PSD, and Rompetrol Rafinare has challenged the legality of this tax. The company's development prospects are affected by the increasing fiscal conditions and environmental requirements.
