Corporate income tax and microenterprise tax discounts between 2% and 15%

We are taking this opportunity to inform you of the legislative provisions included in the Emergency Ordinance no. 153/2020, which allows taxpayers to benefit from discounts between 2% and 15%, depending on the net asset position as reflected in the annual financial statements.

The discount is applicable to the annual corporate income tax/microenterprise tax due, subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions related to the net asset position:

  • The net assets are positive;
  • The adjusted net asset position increases on an annual basis with a minimum percentage.

Please refer to the table below for details on the system of discounts, which can be cumulated, depending on the fulfilment of the applicable conditions:
