Kofax’s recent post on Romania underlined the country’s drive to re-categorise new VAT rates for the upcoming year.

Swiftly, the Romanian government has now published legislation confirming the changes.

As a reminder, the Bill will introduce the following changes:

Supplies affected by an increase from the reduced 9% VAT rate to the standard VAT rate of 19%:

• sugary non-alcoholic drinks
• sugary foods
• passenger transport for tourist purposes
• sports facilities entrance fees

Supplies affected by an increase from the 5% VAT rate to 9%:

• social buildings
• smaller dwellings
• amusement park, cinemas, and cultural event admissions

Romania is a compliant territory for Kofax. Our e-invoicing solution in the country supports all valid VAT rates in the country, including the new categorisations above which form the basis for the Bill.
