- Romania may postpone the November 1, 2026 deadline for mandatory QR codes on fiscal receipts because implementing technical rules are still not finalized.
- Under OUG 28/1999, as amended by OUG 69/2024, QR codes on electronic fiscal receipts (AMEF) must include the receipt issue date/time, receipt identification number, and cash register fiscal serial number.
- The missing updated Methodological Norms under HG 479/2003 prevent technical specifications from being set, including data format, encoding rules, QR size/placement, and any verification address.
- Without these standards, manufacturers/distributors cannot obtain the necessary technical approval from ICI Bucharest, so approved cash registers capable of issuing compliant QR-code receipts are not yet available.
- Romania has already suspended sanctions several times, most recently under OUG 68/2025, and the Chamber of Tax Consultants is urging the Ministry of Finance to act before sanctions resume.
