Summary
- Romania’s QR-code reform for fiscal receipts remains ongoing, with retailers and stakeholders still waiting for essential technical details needed for implementation. The obligation to display QR codes on fiscal receipts is legally mandatory and has not been repealed. However, the practical rollout is stalled because the specifications required to configure fiscal devices and software correctly have not yet been published, leaving businesses unable to complete their compliance preparations despite the standing legal requirement.

- To manage the mismatch between a live legal obligation and missing technical detail, sanctions for non-compliance have been suspended until 1 November 2026. This grace period effectively shields businesses from penalties while they await the necessary specifications, approvals and software updates. Importantly, the underlying QR-code obligation itself has not been postponed—only the enforcement of penalties—so companies must remain ready to comply promptly once the technical framework is finally released by the authorities.

- The suspension gives distributors and fiscal-device manufacturers time to update software, secure required approvals and deploy changes across a very large installed base of fiscal equipment. With technical specifications still unavailable and no formal postponement of the obligation announced, uncertainty persists over the final implementation timeline. Businesses operating in Romania should monitor official publications closely and engage their fiscal-solution providers early, so they can move quickly once the detailed requirements are confirmed.
