CRISIS EFFECTS ON THE FISCAL revenues IN ROMANIA AND eUROPEAN UNION STATES

The financial and economic crisis has affected the majority of the European Union member states, the main effect being the reduction of fiscal revenues. The most important goal of this paper is to identify the way in which the financial and economic crisis has affected the fiscal revenues in Romania and the European Union member states, between 2008 and 2010 and which were the main categories of fiscal revenues affected by the crisis. As a consequence, the majority of the European Union states has adopted anti-crisis fiscal measures to change the main taxes: corporate tax, income tax, value added tax and excises.
