Frequently Asked Questions
Why Romania?
Romania is the most “western style-like” country in the Southeastern Europe, with one of the lowest taxation schemes, very healthy banking sector and the strongest growth + growth potential.
It is member of European Union since 01.01.2007. It is not member of Eurozone, still using its own currency, the Romanian Leu.
During the last 6 – 8 years, it has a soft decline of 1 – 2% each year.
Your Company
The logical answer is: “Owner of a Limited Liability Company” (LLC). This will offer you flexibility and the lowest taxation. A private company will have higher taxation, while a PLC or SA has higher taxation and less flexibility.

Taxation
Unless you explicitly ask to be charged with 16% tax on profit, your company will pay:
1% tax on revenue, if it has an employee (even yourself)
3% tax on revenue, if it does not have an employee.
The above mentioned 1 – 3% taxation scheme will be valid for your company as long as its turnover is below 1.000.000 Euros. Once it crosses this threshold, it will automatically switch to 16% tax on profit.
- The main VAT rate is 19%.
- Food, liquids except alcohol, the whole agricultrual sector and several other segments have 9% VAT rate
- Organic food products and some more „excemptions” (including ebooks) have just 5% VAT.
