Tîrgu-Mureş, the 3rd of October 2011 – Tîrgu-Mureş Municipality’s City Hall is the first local administration that provides the citizens with user’s data and password for accessing Ghiseul.ro. On this basis, the taxpayers can pay their taxes and penalties by authentication and will permanently verify the payments’ status, wherever they are.
The campaign of distributing the envelopes with user’s data and password will begin on Thursday, October 6. For three days, the mailmen will go to each taxpayer’s door in Tîrgu-Mureş and hand over the envelope. It contains the information about the user and the password of each of the 60.159 taxpayers. In addition to this, the citizens in Tîrgu-Mureş will receive the instructions for using the on-line payment service. Each taxpayer is asked to accept the envelope. If, for whatever reason, the envelope cannot be delivered to the taxpayer, it will be kept by the Romanian Post until October 31. Meanwhile, the citizen in Tîrgu-Mureş is asked to go to the post office in his area of residence to take his envelope. The envelopes will be taken by the mailmen to the address specified in the identity card of each taxpayer. There are situations when some of the taxpayers to the local budget in Tîrgu-Mureş have the address in the identity card in another locality. In this case, the envelopes will be kept until October 15, at the Post Office no.1 in Tîrgu-Mureş, on Revoluţiei Street no. 2. All the persons who find themselves in this situation are asked to raise their envelope. If they don’t, the documents will be sent, after October 15 to the address from the identity card.
“ It is a great benefit for the citizens in our city, whether they operate in Tîrgu-Mureş or are left to work abroad, or are simply on holiday”, said the Mayor, Dorin Florea. The Mayor of Tîrgu-Mureş municipality:  “Imagine that the relative that works in Spain, for example, postpones the payments’ obligation until its arrival in the country, exposing itself to significant increases. Or, at best, asks its family or friends to go to the financial administration and stand at endless queues. From now on, that person can pay the taxes while sitting in the chair, watching the local channel in Valencia.”
At the moment, many citizens in Tîrgu-Mureş have jobs abroad. For them and for all the users of the online tax payments the Tîrgu-Mureş City Hall will pay the trading commissions and thus the citizen won’t have any extra cost.
“We have tried to simplify as much as we could the life of the citizens in Tirgu Mureş”, said Dorin Florea.  “The citizen will receive at home the credentials together with the using instructions. He will have to access Tirgu Mureş City Hall’s webpage www.tirgumures.ro or directly on www.ghiseul.ro and personalize its password, by changing the one he received. From that moment on, he becomes the master of its financial situation.”
Ghiseul.ro, the national electronic card payment system, freely provided to the local administrations by MCSI and APERO (the Association for Electronic Payments in Romania), covers at the moment over two millions people, belonging to the City Halls of the 2nd  and 6th Sector in Bucharest, and to the municipalities in Braşov, Zalău, Piteşti, Giurgiu, Oradea, Cluj, Drobeta Turnu Severin and Tîrgu–Mureş.
