There is some<strong>&nbsp;tax exemption in Romania<\/strong>&nbsp;and most of them involve companies carrying gambling activities in Romania. Below is information about the&nbsp;<strong>Romanian income tax rate<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>If a foreign company has a place of business in Romania, such a company is considered a taxpayer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The difference between the revenues and expenses is the calculation base for the taxable profit of a company in Romania.

Such tax is normally paid until the 25th of the first month that follows the end of the quarters, according to the Fiscal Code in Romania.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Our&nbsp;<strong>Romanian accountants<\/strong>&nbsp;can tell you more about&nbsp;<strong>Romanian income tax<\/strong>, mentioning that assistance for tax registration and compliance can be offered on request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-any-tax-exemption-in-romania\"><\/span><strong>Is there any&nbsp;tax exemption in Romania?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, according to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noulcodfiscal.ro\/\"><strong>Romanian Fiscal Code<\/strong><\/a>, there is no income tax imposed for non-profit organizations established in Romania. The same<strong>&nbsp;tax exemption in Romania<\/strong>&nbsp;applies to specific companies having activities in the agricultural sector or generating revenues as religious cults or educational entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-companies-apply-for-corporate-income-tax-advanced-payments\"><\/span><strong>Can companies apply for corporate income tax advanced payments?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes,&nbsp;<strong>Romanian income tax&nbsp;<\/strong>can be paid in advance, whether for the entire year or quarterly advanced payments, as stipulated by the same Fiscal Code. If you would like to discuss further details about&nbsp;<strong>Romanian income tax rate<\/strong>, feel free to get in touch with our<strong>&nbsp;Romanian accountants<\/strong>&nbsp;and ask for a free case evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"romania-income-tax-rate-for-residence-and-non-residence-citizens\"><\/span><strong>Romania income tax rate for residence and non-residence citizens<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The current&nbsp;<strong>Romanian income tax rate&nbsp;<\/strong>imposed for residents and non-residents in Romania is set at 10%. In order to align with this important tax rule, it is important to understand the definition of a tax resident in this country, especially by foreigners. As such, persons with domiciliation in Romania for more than 183 days are considered tax residents. However, there is also an exception that directs citizens of Romania working outside the country, but for the Romanian government. In this situation, such employees continue to have the status of&nbsp;<strong>Romanian tax residents<\/strong>&nbsp;and therefore, are subject to the same&nbsp;<strong>personal income tax in Romania<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same applies to foreigners living in Romania but working for the government in their countries, with the mention that the&nbsp;<strong>personal income tax<\/strong>&nbsp;varies. It is essential to note that non-residents living in Romania and generating incomes in this country will pay taxes only on the incomes registered here. We invite you to talk to our accountants in Romania and discuss about the<strong>&nbsp;personal income tax in Romania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-if-i-no-longer-live-in-romania-do-i-need-to-pay-taxes\"><\/span><strong>What happens if I no longer live in Romania? Do I need to pay taxes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreigners who decide to leave Romania must notify the tax authorities within 30 days prior to the departure and declare if they remain fully taxable or not. If they close the work contracts in Romania, this means that the authorities will remove them from the tax records. Feel free to ask our specialists about&nbsp;<strong>Romanian income tax calculator&nbsp;<\/strong>and find out information about the taxes you need to pay in this country. The same team can tell you more about the&nbsp;<strong>personal income tax in Romania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-are-considered-tax-residents-in-romania\"><\/span><strong>Who are considered tax residents in Romania?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Romanian and foreign citizens domiciled in Romania are considered tax residents. This means that the income recorded in this country is subject to taxation. The exception is the income registered abroad, by a citizen residing in Romania, who is not subject to taxation. Another important aspect of the note is the fact that Romanian citizens with tax residence in a foreign country that has not concluded a double tax treaty with Romania must pay the related<strong>&nbsp;taxes in Romania&nbsp;<\/strong>for worldwide income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These aspects must be understood from the very beginning, in order to give you an idea about the&nbsp;<strong>taxation system in Romania<\/strong>. Companies established in this country can benefit from complete accounting services, by calling on our accounting firm. We offer all the necessary support in terms of taxes, starting with the registration at the related institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"taxable-compensations-for-workers\"><\/span><strong>Taxable compensations for workers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What is important to note is that the types of pay and benefits received by an employee for the work they perform are taxable regardless of where they are paid or received. However, there are exceptions in this situation, if the respective remunerations are exempt from taxation and if this is mentioned by the Romanian Fiscal Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The expatriate compensation package involves cost-of-living allowances benefits in cash and kind and premiums allowances for jobs in Romania. We remind you that our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/romanian-accountants.com\/accountants-in-iasi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Romanian accountants<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;are at your disposal with complete information about&nbsp;<strong>personal income tax in Romania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-any-exempt-incomes\"><\/span><strong>Are there any exempt incomes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there are tax-exempt incomes, but taking into account a few conditions that must be met. Exempt income applies to repayable loans for employees free of interest or with lower interest compared to the market. Also, exempt personal income tax in Romania applies to income derived from foreign employers, if the work is performed outside Romania unless the income is paid by an employer in Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tax-exempt incomes also apply to private health insurance, up to EUR 400 per year, but also to contributions for voluntary pension funds. Discuss with our<strong>&nbsp;accountants in Romania<\/strong>&nbsp;what are tax exemptions for specific incomes. We are here to help you with advice and support to better understand the&nbsp;<strong>Romanian tax system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"taxation-for-incomes-earned-from-working-abroad\"><\/span><strong>Taxation for incomes earned from working abroad<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An important aspect regarding the incomes of workers living in Romania, but working outside this country is the lack of taxes. Therefore, if the payment of income is not made by a&nbsp;<strong>company resident in Romania<\/strong>, then there is no question of taxation. Employees who earn money outside the borders of Romania, but who are residents in this country will be taxed in the country where the respective incomes are registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"investment-income-and-taxation-in-romania\"><\/span><strong>Investment income and taxation in Romania<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect related to&nbsp;<strong>personal income tax in Romania<\/strong>&nbsp;refers to the taxation for investment income and capital gains. Thus, the residents have to pay the tax for them, if they are registered in Romania. As for non-residents, they must pay withholding tax on capital gains and investment income, if the source of income is registered in Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is important to note is the fact that Romania has signed a series of protocols to avoid double taxation and even reduce certain taxes, where appropriate.

We mention that such a loan must not be lower or exceed the extra fee paid.

If you find yourself in this situation, we recommend that you read the following lines to get an idea about the&nbsp;<strong>taxation of micro-enterprises in Romania<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A 1% tax is imposed for companies with a turnover of EUR 500,000 (reduced from EUR 1 million) and at least one employee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The same tax applies if stockholders own more than 25% of the social capital in 3 companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the company has other income sources apart from consulting and management, in a range of more than 80% of total income, then the 1% tax is applied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But to find out all the changes brought by the law in this direction, please contact our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/romanian-accountants.com\/financial-advisor-romania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>accountants in Romania<\/strong><\/a>. They can explain in detail the aspects that interest you, in order to update the company from a fiscal point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"news-regarding-taxation-in-romania\"><\/span><strong>News regarding taxation in Romania<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the changes brought by the law in 2022, the exception from paying income tax for salary-related income of individuals with activities based on an employment agreement for a period of 12 months with Romanian companies and seasonal activities was eliminated. Also, the field of construction has undergone changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, fiscal facilities are now limited to assimilated salaries of up to 10,000 RON and not up to 30,000RON, as it was until recently. We also mention that no reduced social contributions and no income tax are due for salary assimilated income of 10,000 RON gross. We recommend that you talk with our<strong>&nbsp;accountants in Romania<\/strong>&nbsp;and find out all the information on this matter, in order to be aware of the fiscal changes brought by the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"some-aspects-related-to-the-romanian-economy\"><\/span><strong>Some aspects related to the Romanian economy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the latest data, GDP in Romania grew by 4% year-on-year in Q3 of 2022, thus marking the sixth consecutive quarterly increase. It is also mentioned that Romania&#8217;s economy grew by approximately 1.3%, in the current social and political context. Positioned at approximately 11.8%, inflation registered a significant increase, but according to estimates, it will decrease significantly in the next two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the unemployment rate is somewhere around 5.4%, the gross public debt is approximately 47.9% of the total recorded GDP. Even if the agricultural sector and the chemical industry were affected in the direction of development in 2022, EU funds are expected to inflow, and GDP growth to be supported by gross fixed capital and the Recovery and Resilience Facility. But what will impact inflation until it stabilizes, will be the price of gas and energy, but changes in this sense will be registered starting from 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to find out how the new economic directions and changes in the tax legislation affect your business, we recommend that you contact our specialists. We can provide you with information about the taxes in force and the changes made, as well as help with the implementation of the new tax rules and<strong>&nbsp;tax exemption in Romania<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"investing-in-romania\"><\/span><strong>Investing in Romania<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/romanian-accountants.com\/why-invest-in-romania\"><strong>Romania<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;offers numerous investment opportunities for international players who want to access a free and competitive market.
