Changes to social security contributions from January 2018: The changes provide for the following measures: Reducing social security contributions in three ways Employer taxes are greatly reduced The taxes are mostly shifted to the employee and increased for him From 01/01/2018 there are the following fees: Employer: Employment insurance: 2.25% of the gross salary Exceptions: for special working conditions: 4%, for heavy working conditions 8%. Employees: Pension insurance: 25% of the gross salary Health insurance: 10% of the gross salary Conclusion: by transferring the social security obligation to the AN and by increasing the social security contributions of the AN from the current 16% to 35%, their net income decreases accordingly. By reducing wage tax from 16% to 10% (see also point C: Change in income tax) this is partially offset. In order to enable employees to have a constant net wage, an increase in gross wages would be necessary. Basically, an increase in the gross salary does not mean any significant additional costs for the AG, since on the other hand the AG’s taxes have been reduced. A corresponding gross wage increase has been set by law for state employees. In industries in which employees are exempt from wage tax (IT, research, development, seasonal work, employment for the disabled), the AG can expect a larger increase in gross wages and thus additional total costs of around 7%. According to the government, measures are being taken to compensate for this, but nothing specific has been published to date. If a constant net salary of the MA is desired, we recommend that the AG perform a separate calculation for each...
All companies that achieve an annual turnover of less than EUR 1,000,000 will be classified as “micro companies” from 01.01.2018. The previous year’s sales are used as the basis for the sales calculation. Micro companies pay no profit tax (equivalent to German corporate tax) but a tax of 1% of sales if at least one employee is employed or 3% of sales if there are no employees. The condition that a maximum of 20% of sales may be generated from consulting activities in order to be classified as a micro company has been removed. At the same time, this classification also benefits other company activities that were previously excluded: insurers, capital markets, banks, competitions. The option that corporation tax payment (16% of profit) can be selected in the case of share capital of at least RON 45,000 has been abolished. Conclusion: for many companies whose annual turnover is less than EUR 1,000,000, this means an interesting tax cut. For companies with a small profit margin, this type of taxation could have disadvantages, the 16% profit tax would have been more advantageous in such cases.
