Accountants Romania - General Aspects


In agreement with general legal regulations, companies are requested to use double-entry accounting and it is a mandatory procedure to draw up annual financial statements. Our Romania accounting office is fully aware of all routine processes imposed by local authorities and we are continuously developing efficient approaches in order to meet the most rigorous expectations. The public institution in charge of drawing and issuing standards and regulations in this specific field is the Ministry of Finance.


Services provided by our accountants in Romania fully comply with regional stipulations and also with European standards, always delivering explicit information about all administrative procedures. As all Romania accounting firms assert, there are three major accounting ledgers declared as compulsory: journal ledger, inventory ledger and general ledger. Each type of ledger gradually reflects various aspects concerning financial operations, assets, liabilities and monthly records covering more specific concepts. All documents
referring to accounting matters must be stored at the company's headquarters.

Taxation in Romania and the main reporting obligations

Companies in Romania are subject to several taxes. Our team specializing in accounting in Romania lists some of these below for informative purposes:

  • 16%: the corporate income tax rate for Romanian companies; the branch tax rate has the same value, and so does the capital gains tax rate;
  • 16%: the tax on dividends distributed from 1 January 2026, withheld by the paying company for resident and non-resident shareholders; dividends paid to a company that has held at least 10% of the shares for at least one year can be exempt, and a double tax treaty can reduce the rate for non-residents;
  • 21%: the standard value-added tax rate, applicable since 1 August 2025; a single reduced rate of 11% applies to certain goods and services, such as food and medicines;
  • 2.25%: the work insurance contribution (CAM) paid by the employer on the gross salary; an additional pension contribution of 4% or 8% is paid by the employer only for jobs with difficult or special working conditions; the employee pays the pension contribution (CAS) of 25%, the health contribution (CASS) of 10% and income tax of 10%, withheld by the employer.

The tax year in Romania is usually the same as the calendar year. Corporate income tax is declared and paid quarterly, by the 25th day of the month following each quarter. An annual corporate income tax return is also filed, and the final tax for the year paid, within the legal deadline.

Main tax rules for small businesses in 2026

The Fiscal Code has been amended several times in recent years, most recently with effect from 2025 and 2026.

Our Romanian accountants briefly list the main rules that apply in 2026 below:

For micro companies:

  • the micro-company pays a 1% tax on its revenue; the former 3% rate no longer exists, and the company must have at least one employee (or an administrator paid under a mandate contract at least at the level of the minimum gross salary);
  • the revenue ceiling for the micro-company regime is EUR 100,000, counted together with the revenues of linked companies; the former limit on revenues from consultancy and management no longer applies;
  • dividends distributed from 1 January 2026 are taxed at 16%; this is an important change that impacts small business owners.

Shareholders who are individuals also owe the health contribution (CASS) of 10% on dividends and other investment income (such as rent and interest), calculated on a fixed base that depends on the total amount of such income earned in the year.

Our team can provide foreign investors in Romania with clarifications concerning the CASS and the CAS contributions.

As seen above, micro-companies are a category that has been subject to several important changes. Our team can provide you with additional information on this subject, and can help you comply with the latest fiscal changes if your chosen business form is a micro-company.

For self-employed individuals (PFA), our accountants in Romania briefly mention the following rules:

  • a PFA taxed on the basis of income norms must switch to the real system of taxation if its gross income in the previous year exceeded the equivalent of EUR 25,000;
  • self-employed individuals can be subject to an exemption from the payment of CAS, however, the CASS contributions are mandatory and different according to income calculated as the number of minimum wages.

The gross minimum wage is RON 4,325 per month from 1 July 2026 (it was RON 4,050 until 30 June 2026). Our team can give you more information about this important change if you run a business in Romania and hire employees.

The latest fiscal changes can prompt business owners to rethink the way in which they do business. One solution can be to change the existing business form, especially in the case of sole traders (PFA) who estimate that they will earn more than the new prescribed income threshold.

Changing the business form is possible, however, this is a decision to be made only after taking into account different aspects and after proper consultation with a team of accounting and company formation experts such as our own.

Our team can give you more details about the recent fiscal changes, the applicable taxes, and your options if you are considering making important changes to your business form.

The principles of accounting in Romania as well as those for taxation change frequently, and filing deadlines should be checked every year.
