The law that modifies the taxation of sole traders, which cameinto force on July 1, does not clarify what "dependent" activitymeans. Considering that the government ordinance is meant tosupplement budget revenues, it could see tax inspectors go afterthose who were working as sole traders to avoid paying certaintaxes.
Whilst so far sole traders, who carried out independentactivities, paid a 16% tax, as well as a 5.5% health insurancecontribution, and a contribution of at least 200 RON to the pensionfund, starting July 1 they may have to pay contributions amountingto over 27% of their gross income. Why? Because fiscal inspectorscan abuse the fact that the law is vague when it comes tospecifying what at a dependent activity means, with sole traders topotentially be required to pay higher contributions, evenretroactively.
