How it works
The country VAT page combines reference data, invoice expectations and a live calculator because finance users typically need all three at once. That prevents the common pattern of bouncing between a rate table and a separate pricing tool.
Registration threshold note:: VAT registration threshold is EUR 35,000 (approximately RON 170,000) annual turnover.
Invoice checklist
- Romanian VAT number (CUI) and RO-PIC code must be shown.
- Sequential invoice numbering is mandatory.
- Reverse charge applies for selected B2B transactions.
Example use case
A consultant can confirm the standard rate, calculate a client invoice from a net fee, and then double-check invoice wording expectations before sending the document.
