Romania Enacts Historic VAT Liability Cancellation Law

  • Romania’s Law No. 177/2026 cancels certain historical VAT debts, including related interest and penalties, for tax periods from 1 January 2019 until the law takes effect.
  • The relief mainly applies to taxpayers whose VAT registration was cancelled by authorities for inactivity, failure to file VAT returns, or declaring zero activity.
  • It also covers certain agricultural cooperatives, cancelling VAT liabilities linked to input VAT deductions for agricultural machinery purchases made from 9 January 2024 onward.
  • Amounts already paid or offset can be refunded if the taxpayer requests it.
  • The cancellation does not apply if VAT was separately shown on invoices or actually collected from customers.
