Purpose/objectives: What this article proposes is to make a presentation as clear and current as possible of the member states' taxation, direct and indirect taxation being the main categories to which we refer. The choice of the theme was motivated by our interest in discovering the effects of some decisions taken at the European level. It is desired to discover the way and the impact in which taxation influences economic growth in the European community. Design/methodology: Mix research technique has been used. While qualitative research entails in-depth literature readings and reports, quantitative analysis entails presenting data via graphs and tables. Findings: Taxation was and will remain a main component in the general economy that influences the good functioning of a system. Its effectiveness is conditioned by the legal regulations that each state designs individually, but not without the influence of the communities of which it is a part. For example, Romania was conditioned upon its entry into the European Union to modify its laws in order to be at the same level as the states in the Union. It is a laborious process that takes a long time and is constantly changing and improving. The process of designing and implementing these programs is tried to be carried out as easily as possible for each individual state, being individualized by economy, regional power, global impact, etc. The progress of each country entered in this sense is very important and is constantly monitored, and periodic reporting is very useful. Originality/value: The work is an original research work conducted by the researchers. The findings will add to the body of knowledge on the area of research funding in Romania. Possible practical implications: The completed project is addressed to those people who are interested in the fiscal side of an economy, especially understanding the process of economic growth, how difficult it is to reach a favorable situation at such a high level.. It can also represent a starting point for bachelor's, master's level studies, in order to broaden general knowledge, or even in-depth study for a final paper.
