- The ordinary pro rata VAT method, based on turnover, can be replaced by an alternative method only if it is more precise and adequately demonstrated (Cassation order no. 5892/2026).
- The 2023 tax reform (law no. 111/2023) allows for alternative criteria to better reflect the actual use of goods and services for taxable and exempt operations.
