Romania: Regulatory updates
Deep dive into Romania’s digital obligations, from the mandatory RO e-Factura for B2B to the RO e-Transport system for high-risk goods.
The RO e-Factura Ecosystem
Mandatory B2B & e-Transport Compliance
Since January 2024, RO e-Factura is mandatory for B2B transactions, with strict 5-day reporting windows via the SPV. Beyond invoicing, RO e-Transport tracks high-risk goods via GPS and advance declaration. Operational failure is not an option: without a valid digital record, goods can be confiscated and fines applied. Seamless API integration is critical to manage this high-frequency reporting.
Closing the EU’s Largest VAT Gap
Facing the highest VAT gap in the EU, Romania has adopted an aggressive digitalization strategy. The National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) uses technology to enforce compliance, moving rapidly from grace periods to strict penalties. This digital overhaul is designed to sanitize the market, ensuring compliant businesses are not undercut by the shadow economy.
Understanding Romania's e-Invoicing and Tax reporting regulations.
RO e-Factura: Romania’s National e-Invoicing System
RO e-Factura is Romania’s national e-invoicing platform introduced to improve fiscal control, reduce tax evasion, and digitize the invoicing process. The system has been progressively rolled out and will become mandatory for all B2B and B2C transactions in 2025. For the latest updates and detailed information, please visit the link below.
SAF-T Romania: Standardized Tax Reporting for Greater Transparency
SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) in Romania is a mandatory electronic reporting system requiring companies to submit structured accounting and tax data to the national tax authority (ANAF). The rollout began in 2022 for large taxpayers and will extend to all VAT-registered businesses by 2025. For updated details on reporting obligations and formats, see the link below.
