Public and Fiscality: Facts and Unknowns

Taxes on physical and juridical persons constitute a permanent source of income for the authorities, income that is used to cover public expenses. As the need for public financial resources is growing permanently, a decrease in the tax levels can cause confusion or even public controversy. However, changes brought in the current fiscal legislation have brought a series of decreases (theoretically substantial) of the fiscal obligations owed by the tax payers. Thus, it is natural to try and identify the potential benefits or consequences of the fiscal relaxation that has occurred. Moreover, it can be established if there is a possibility to replace eventual losses of resources from the targeted taxpayers with tax charges that affect other financial actors.
