1st round of Romanian Standard Audit File for Tax returns delayed to January 2023

The Romanian National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) has named an additional round of large taxpayers who will join the new Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) D406. These 1,500 will be required to submit their first declarations by 31st July 2023 covering (a six-month grace period). Taxpayers on the original list must submit their first returns by 31st January 2023 (following the above delay).
Non-resident taxpayers with a Romanian VAT number may be required to complete SAF-T from January 2025 – but to be confirmed. RO e-invoicing is starting in January 2022. There had already been a 3-month moratorium for the launch for large taxpayers. All taxpayers should be on the scheme by the start of 2025. This includes non-resident businesses with Romanian VAT registration.
Hereby is a reminder from ANAF for the currently existing deadlines:
– January 2022 – started for large taxpayers as a first wave (12-month soft landing until 31st of January 2023)
– July 2022 – large taxpayers' second wave (6-month soft landing up to 31st of January 2023)
– January 2023 – for mid-sized taxpayers
– January 2025 – for small taxpayers
– January 2025 – for non-resident taxpayers.
