Romanian Entrepreneur Calls for Tax Review to Boost Legal Employment
What happened
Cristina Chiriac, founding president of the National Confederation for Women's Entrepreneurship, called for a review of minimum social security contributions applicable to certain part-time employment contracts in Romania. She stated that the current tax system imposes an additional cost on employers based on a base higher than the employee's actual salary, which discourages legal employment for those who cannot work full-time. The proposal was made against the backdrop of a 2026 budget revision that projects a 0.4% economic contraction and a reduction of approximately 488 million lei in personal income tax revenue from wages.

Why it matters
The proposed tax regime change aims to create conditions for more people to enter the legal workforce by reducing the financial burden of part-time contracts. This reform directly targets labor costs and employment incentives within Romania, which is currently facing projected revenue shortfalls in its budget revision.
