Summary

The Order updates the forms used for tax registration, modification, and deregistration to align with the new VAT exemption threshold of RON 395,000 (effective as of the 1^st of September 2025, according to art. 310 para. 1 of the Fiscal Code, as amended by GEO 22/2025).

Details

Updated forms

The update applies to a broad range of ANAF forms used by legal entities, individuals, and non-residents: 010, 013, 015, 016, 020, 030, 040, 070, 700, and 093.

New provisions for taxpayers with headquarters in Romania (forms 010, 016, 020, 040, 070, 700)

1. Updated terminology

• The phrase “intends to reach or exceed” is replaced with “intends to exceed.”
• The phrase “by reaching or exceeding” is replaced with “by exceeding.”
  This clarification specifies the exact moment when the exemption threshold is considered surpassed

2. Removal of redundant rows

• Rows 1.4 and 1.8 are eliminated — these previously referred to VAT registration for operations deemed to take place abroad (as per art. 297 para. 4 letters b) and d) of the Fiscal Code).

3. Introduction of a new field: “Date of exceeding the threshold”

• A new row is added to declare the exact date when the threshold of RON 395,000 was exceeded — this date determines when VAT registration becomes effective.

4. Retroactive correction of the VAT registration date

• A new option allows a taxpayer that is already registered and finds that the threshold was exceeded earlier to request a correction of the registration date, so that it coincides with the actual date the threshold was exceeded (as per art. 310 para (6²) of the Fiscal Code).

5. Electronic VAT registration certificate

• Taxpayers registered in the Virtual Private Space (SPV) will receive their VAT registration certificate exclusively in electronic format.

New provisions for taxpayers established outside Romania (forms 013, 015, 030, 093)

1. New row for registration after losing exemption status (art. 310² of the Fiscal Code)

• A new option is added for declaring VAT registration after the cessation of the small business exemption regime.

2. Option to cancel VAT registration

• Taxpayers may now select a new checkbox to renounce VAT registration and apply the exemption regime provided by art. 310² of the Fiscal Code.

3. Clarification for intra-Community acquisitions

• Additional rows are introduced for taxable entities not established in Romania that apply the exemption regime and opt to register for VAT purposes for intra-Community acquisitions, as per art. 317 of the Fiscal Code

Fiscal context

The Order incorporates into forms the amendments introduced by GO 22/2025, which:

• increased the VAT exemption threshold from RON 300,000 to RON 395,000, applicable from the 1^st of September 2025;
• implemented EU Directive 2020/285 regarding the special scheme for small enterprises;
• established new rules for VAT registration, deregistration, and re-registration.

Conclusions

ANAF Order 2420/2025:

• updates all tax and VAT registration forms to reflect the new RON 395,000 threshold;
• simplifies and digitalizes the communication process by introducing SPV as the sole electronic channel for transmitting certificates;

Law 164/2025 to approve GEO 123/2022 to amend Law 129/2019 on prevention and combat of money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as to amend and complement certain normative acts (Official Gazette 978/2025)

Summary

The Law approves GEO 123/2022 and introduces new obligations on prevention of money laundering and transparency on ultimate beneficial owner, particularly for trusts and national research and development institutes.

Details

The purpose of this new law is to extend the obligation to declare beneficial owners to new types of legal structures (trusts and similar legal constructions), to strengthen the competences of ANAF and to enhance transparency.

Introduction of Article 57¹ in Law 129/2019 – Declaration on beneficial owner of a trust

A new article, art. 57¹, is created, introducing a distinct procedure for the transparency of trusts and similar legal structures.

Main obligations:

• Trustees (or persons holding an equivalent role in a similar legal structure) should declare:
  • accurate and complete information regarding the beneficial owner;
  • the declaration is submitted to ANAF upon registration of the trust contract, for inclusion in the Register of beneficial owners of trusts (according to art. 19 para. (5) letter c) of Law 129/2019).

Deadlines and sanctions:

• Failure to declare the information results in non-registration of the trust contract by ANAF.
• Any subsequent change on the declared information should be declared within 30 days from its occurrence.
• Failure to declare or update the information constitutes a misdemeanour/ contravention, punishable by a fine ranging from RON 5,000 to 10,000.
• If the data are not updated within 30 days from issuance of the official report, the trust or similar legal construction will be ex officio eliminated from ANAF’s register.
• The procedure for elimination will be established by an ANAF Presidential Order.
• Determination and enforcement of sanctions will be carried out by the fiscal authorities within ANAF and its subordinate units.

Compliance period for existing structures (Article II)

• Existing trustees (or their equivalents in similar structures) who have not declared or updated beneficial ownership data should:
  • submit the declaration within 90 days from the date the law enters into force;
  • otherwise, they risk a fine of RON 5,000–10,000 and subsequent ex officio elimination from the register.

Introduction of the obligation for national research and development institutes

• These entities are now explicitly required to submit the beneficial ownership declaration:
  • upon registration and whenever any change occurs;
  • institutes already registered should submit the declaration within 90 days from the entry into force of the law.

This amendment extends the scope of transparency obligations to include public research and development institutions, which had previously been practically exempt.

Competent authorities

• The National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) becomes the main administrative authority responsible for:
  • managing the register of trustees and beneficial owners of trusts;
  • verifying compliance and applying sanctions;
  • eliminating non-compliant structures from the register.

Conclusions

Law 164/2025:

• transforms ANAF into the control authority and register administrator for trusts and similar legal constructions;
• introduces clear sanctions, including ex officio elimination for non-compliance;
• extends the obligation to declare beneficial ownership to national research and development institutes;
• strengthens Romania’s alignment with EU standards on beneficial ownership transparency (Directive (EU) 2015/849 and its amendments).
