HoReCa representatives are outraged by the Finance Minister's decision to double the VTA. According to them, Sandu Government's intention could raise the prices and reduce the staff in this sphere. These opinions were stated within the talk-show 'In centrul atentiei', from Publika TV.

The businessmen of this industry say that these changes will create serious consequences.
The Social Democrat Party leader Victor Selin, also a guest of the talk-show, said that this situation was created because of the actual governance's incapacity to deal with the state's problems.
'The new governance knows nothing about the country's economy and it's business environment. The gave up in front of the FMI requests', declared Victor Selin.
From October 1 of the last year, the VTA HoReCa taxes were reduced in half. Last week, the authorities announced that starting next year, the taxes might raise to 20%. Once this decision raised a wave of complaints and criticism, the authorities nonetheless decided to organize consultations with the businessmen.
