Romania – introduce automatic registration

Tuesday June 1, 2010

The Romanian tax authorities have introduced a mechanism that will automatically change the VAT status of taxable persons in certain circumstances.  This will include:

  • automatic registration for VAT of taxable persons that are liable to be registered for VAT but have not complied with this obligation;
  • the automatic de-registration of VAT registered taxable persons that are inactive; and
  • the automatic de-registration of taxpayers that are not required or entitled to be registered for VAT.
