What is the VAT rate in Romania?↓
Romania has a standard VAT rate of 19% (TVA - Taxa pe Valoarea Adaugata). A reduced rate of 9% applies to food and non-alcoholic beverages (including restaurant meals), medicines, water supply and sanitation services, hotel accommodation, and some agricultural inputs. A 5% rate applies to books, newspapers, cinema and theatre tickets, school textbooks, and social housing under specific price limits.
What is exempt from VAT in Romania?↓
Romanian VAT exemptions include: medical and healthcare services, educational services, financial and insurance services, residential property rental, and certain cultural and non-profit activities. Romania follows EU VAT directives for its exempt categories. Businesses providing exempt services cannot deduct input VAT on related purchases, which can be a significant cost consideration for service businesses.
When must a business register for VAT in Romania?↓
Romanian businesses must register for VAT (TVA) once annual taxable turnover exceeds RON 300,000 (approximately EUR 60,000). Businesses below this threshold may voluntarily register. Foreign businesses without a Romanian establishment must register from their first taxable supply or can use the EU OSS scheme for B2C distance selling and digital services. VAT registration is with the Romanian National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF).
