The Ministry of Finance has increased the minimum share capital for LLCs to 8,000 lei, with the aim of combating inactive firms and tax evasion.

The increase in the minimum share capital from 200 lei to 8,000 lei is mainly aimed at blocking the networks of ghost companies, forcing them to deposit the sums in bank accounts, which will allow the real owners to be identified. This measure will reduce the number of inactive firms, estimated at 462,000, which owe the state 3.5 billion lei. The Ministry of Finance will implement a strict regime for inactive firms, providing clear deadlines for reactivation or dissolution.
