    How Tax Residency Works in Romania

    Under Romanian Fiscal Code (Law 227/2015), you become a tax resident if you: (a) have your domicile in Romania, (b) your center of vital interests is in Romania, or (c) you are physically present for 183+ days in any 12-month period.

    Romania taxes worldwide income for residents at a flat 10% rate. However, through proper structuring (micro-enterprise SRL), the micro-enterprise tax is 1% of revenue, subject to legal conditions.

    Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) with 90+ countries ensure you won't pay tax twice. We handle the Certificate of Tax Residency application, DTA benefit claims, and cross-border tax planning for expatriates and investors from all major economies.
