The EU Court of Justice has ruled that the Romanian tax authorities are not in violation of EU law when they postpone the processing of an objection to a tax assessment in order to obtain information on a taxpayer’s participation in tax evasion, provided that:
- The suspension does not cause an unreasonably long delay in the administrative objection process;
- The ruling allowing such suspension is supported by facts and law and is open to judicial review; and
- If it is established that the taxpayer’s right to deduct was wrongly rejected, the reimbursement must be given within a reasonable time frame.
