The Ministry of Economy and Finance announces that in January 2023, tax revenues ascertained on the basis of the juridical competence criterion amounted to 41.768 million euros, with an increase of 507 million euros compared to the same month of 2022 (+1,2%). Direct taxes show an increase of 3,3% while indirect taxes show a decrease of 3,2%. It should be noted that from 2023 some changes have been introduced to the criteria for recording budget items between tax revenue and non-tax revenue. These reclassifications imply an element of non-homogeneity in the comparisons between the months/periods of the two-year period 2022/2023: by making the comparison homogeneous, by separating the reclassified chapters, tax revenues would have shown a growth of 2,7%.
DIRECT TAXES
