Starting August 1, 2025, Romanian tax law changes (Law 141/2025) will alter VAT rates, introducing an 11% reduced rate for specific food items defined by NC codes in methodological norms. However, food supplements are explicitly excluded from this reduced rate and will be subject to the standard 21% VAT, a significant increase from their previous varying rates (9-19%). This necessitates a detailed review of VAT applicability for these products, which are regulated by Law 56/2021 and are defined as concentrated nutrient sources that supplement the diet.
