The income tax for micro-enterprises starting with 2024.
The income tax for micro-enterprises starting with 2024 will undergo alterations. One of the requirements to be classified as a micro-enterprise in Romania will change, stipulating that the company must have associates or shareholders who hold more than 25% of the total share capital or voting rights and must be the sole micro-enterprise created by these associates or shareholders. Previously, the condition was for a Romanian company to have associates or shareholders holding over 25% of the total share capital or voting rights in a maximum of three micro-enterprises. Furthermore, a new condition for being considered a micro-enterprise in Romania involves timely submission of annual financial statements.
Moreover, for Romanian micro-enterprises, there will be two taxation rates: 1% of revenue for companies outside the HoReCa, medical, IT, dental fields, with an annual turnover below 60,000 Euros, and 3% for firms operating in the aforementioned sectors or with turnover between 60,000 and 500,000 Euros. Given the changes in the Fiscal Code, it is essential to consult a lawyer specialized in fiscal and financial law in Romania who can provide detailed interpretations of fiscal legislation in Romania regarding the application of new conditions, as well as the fiscal implications of these changes.

RO e-Invoice System
The RO e-Invoice System, involving the automatic transmission of invoices issued by a company in Romania to state authorities and invoice recipients, becomes mandatory for most companies in Romania. Initially, companies must report all invoices issued to other companies and public institutions in the RO e-Invoice System. Subsequently, starting from July 1 2024, companies are mandated to exclusively use RO e-Invoice for invoicing, failure to comply risks incurring contraventional sanctions. Therefore, The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends to contact a lawyer specialized in fiscal and financial law in Romania to provide legal assistance, including fiscal consultancy, addressing and resolving any disputes or issues related to the use of the RO e-Invoice System, which could lead to contraventional situations or litigations, as well as offering assistance in dealings with tax authorities in Romania or other entities in case of audits or legal procedures associated with using the RO e-Invoice System.

From 2024, companies in Romania involved in supplying food containing at least 10g/100g of added sugar or non-alcoholic beer should be aware that the VAT rate will increase from 9% to 19%.
