In September, we reported that a proposed Romanian witch and fortune teller tax law was rejected by lawmakers in Romania. Well, as of January 1, Romanian witches and fortune tellers will be taxed as part of an initiative to collect more revenue and crack down on tax evasion in a country that is in recession according to the Associated Press. It is speculated that the tax will be difficult to collect because payments to witches and fortune tellers are made in cash and in small amounts.
