Relationship with Tax Authorities

One of the most important aspects of the fiscal burden which should be borne by taxpayers in Romania refers to administrative obligations and the relationship with tax authorities. From our clients’ experience, the administrative burden may be very difficult to manage, being also time-consuming, as it often requires extensive knowledge of tax procedures and the local authorities’ demands.

Tax inspections are rather frequent and may result in significant amounts which should be paid by taxpayers in addition to the declared amounts as an outcome of the amendments steadily brought to the Romanian legislation and of tax authorities’ extreme interpretations. In some cases, tax authorities’ interpretation of the relevant legislation may differ from taxpayers’ understanding, which may lead to time-consuming court trials.

With the support of our experienced professionals, your company may establish better relationship with the tax authorities, avoiding time-consuming tax procedures and, should the case be, may object to tax inspectors’ reports.
