2.    Tax Amendments Introduced by GEO no. 13/2026 

In March, a normative act was adopted with the following tax implications:

  • It was established that all transfers of shares shall be enforceable against the central tax authority only if the company has settled all its outstanding tax liabilities (i.e., holds a tax clearance certificate with no outstanding obligations) or if any existing liabilities are secured by appropriate guarantees. Previously, these restrictions applied only to the transfer of shares held by a shareholder of a limited liability company who exercised control over the company.
  • The application of the provisions under article 7 paragraph (10) of the Fiscal Procedure Code, which allowed for the communication of the taxpayer’s risk class/subclass upon request, is suspended until December 31, 2026. Romanian Tax Authorities aim to complete its digitalization processes, eliminating the need for direct communication between the tax authority and taxpayers, the information following to be made directly accessible to each taxpayer through the Virtual Private Space.

These provisions were published through GEO no. 13/2026, published in the Official Gazette, Part I, no. 181 of March 9, 2026.
