Romania TVA calculator

In Romania the indirect tax on consumption is TVA (taxa pe valoarea adăugată, value added tax), with a standard rate of 19%.

Romania has changed its rates frequently over the past decade, so check the date before applying any percentage to an older invoice. The 9% rate covers food, medicines and water, while the 5% rate has moved between books, housing and accommodation.

This calculator works both ways: it adds the tax to a price without it and also breaks it out of a final price.

Enter the amount, choose whether to add or remove the tax and pick the rate. The rates available in Romania are: standard 19 %, reduced 9 % and reduced 2 5 %.

If you need a rate other than those listed, choose “other rate” and type it in.

A country where rates change often

Romania has changed its rates and reduced categories more often than most of its neighbours, sometimes mid-year. Before applying a percentage to an invoice, and especially to a past invoice, check the date against the rules in force at that moment with ANAF.

e-Factura: mandatory and centralised

Electronic invoicing goes through the RO e-Factura system, reached via the administration's Virtual Private Space. A business-to-business invoice not transmitted through it does not have full tax effect, and the submission deadlines are short.

The reduced rate and housing

Romania has applied reduced rates to home purchases subject to floor area and price conditions, with limits that have been tightened over time. It is one of the categories that has changed most.

Registration and threshold

There is a special regime for small businesses below a turnover threshold, which are outside the obligation to charge. Once the threshold is crossed, registration is immediate and cannot be delayed.
