The National Tax Service reminds taxpayers that June 25 is the deadline for paying the single tax for May. Payment is available via the MPay platform (service “Single Tax Levied on Independent Entrepreneurs (Freelancers)”). The tax rate is 15% if annual income does not exceed 1.2 million lei, and 35% on the portion of income exceeding this threshold. The collected funds are distributed as follows: 31.3% goes to local budgets (including local fees), 53.3% to the state social insurance budget, and 15.4% to mandatory health insurance funds. // 11.06.2026 — InfoMarket.
