Within a competitive economy, the trading discounts constitute a frequent practice, whereby the asset and service providers instill loyalty to the current customers or propose themselves to draw new clients.
While the economic and legal practice of entities use a diversity of trading discounts, both from the point of view of their name and the complexity of clauses of the trading agreements, the relevant national regulations try to take into account the trading news and innovations.
Our study proposes to specify the impact of the last changes in the accounting and fiscal legislation of trading discounts within the context whereby they may generate fiscal vulnerabilities to all the contracting entities, whether they are profit tax payers or micro-enterprise income tax payers.

Our approach is based on the obvious fact that global tourism has turned into a large-scale phenomenon that has been always creating new challenges with a major impact on the economic and social development. Thus, tourism has increasingly become a main economic sector with great potential, whose operation requires an efficient management.
As is well known, Romania has great natural tourism resources: seaside resort, mountain, spa etc. ensuring the performance of this type of activity throughout the year. To this, it is added cultural, entertainment tourism, etc. However, the overall finding shows that the huge potential we talked about is not sufficiently valued and many tourists prefer coastal resorts especially in neighboring countries: Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece, which raises questions on the competitive ability of the Romanian tourism.

I have taken this theme into discussion, because I consider if of great actuality. Thus, though it is unanimously admitted the fact that the Romanian tourism is a branch of the national economy with a huge potential, and, at official level, it is considered to be a priority domain, its performance is not satisfactory yet. Therefore, I consider it very important to identify the most relevant aspects related to the deficiencies still existing in the system and the causes generating them.
In this regard, my approach aims both at the domestic environment, which is very dynamic and where the tourist activities take place, and also at the extremely strong influence of the foreign environment, materialized by the intensification of the globalization process.

The unprecedented development of communication, transportation media and infrastructure, as well as the increase of the number and diversity of offers, within the context of growth of incomes of certain social categories, have facilitated during the last few years a significant increase of demand in the touring industry which therefore occupies a more and more important place in the national economy, but also in the world economy.
However, a closer look shows us that the overview of tourism at the national, regional and global level presents progressively stronger characteristics in terms of: general condition of locations, provided facilities, degree of accessibility, level of costs, quality and diversity of the provided services, used technologies, potential risks etc. Therefore, the growth of performance in tourism depends more and more on obtaining, organization of strongly
substantiated basis of information and their exploitation to a maximum level of efficiency.
Starting from these considerations, our endeavor aims at making an (non-exhaustive) analysis of the elements allowing increasing of efficiency of information use in the increase of performance in tourism.

Year 2013 brought major changes in taxation of income obtained by micro- enterprises in Romania, therefore the fiscal analysis aims to clarify fundamental matters as regards the object and subject of taxation, tax base and calculation method, declaration and payment of micro-enterprises income tax. We chose a comparative analysis for three basic reasons, namely: (i) taxation principle change occurred: the option to apply the income taxation system has become a liability for the payment of microenterprises income tax, in compliance with certain conditions; (ii) taxation system has an impact on legal persons in Romania, considering that many of them get annual taxable income below 65,000 EUR; (iii) any corporate income tax / income tax payer must annually review the conditions imposed for micro-enterprises and decide which is the system of taxation for the next fiscal year. In the absence of periodic review, fiscal risks of distorting tax liabilities are significant.
