The flat 16% corporate income tax, moderate VAT, and reduced dividend tax attracted investors seeking predictability and low costs. However, between 2023 and 2025, the government adopted a package of tax reforms that fundamentally change this balance. Tax increases, the narrowing of incentives, and the implementation of mandatory digital systems place Romania in a new position compared to other countries in the region.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h3 data-start=\"679\" data-end=\"731\">Corporate tax \u2013 the relative advantage remains<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"732\" data-end=\"1057\">Romania continues to apply a 16% corporate income tax rate, according to Article 17 of the Fiscal Code. This rate is lower than in the Czech Republic (19%), Slovakia (19\u201325%, depending on the level of profit), and Poland (9%\u201319%). However, two countries in the region have much lower rates: Bulgaria (10%) and Hungary (9%).<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1137\">Dividend tax \u2013 from competitive advantage to potential disadvantage<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1388\">One of Romania\u2019s strongest fiscal advantages was the reduced dividend tax \u2013 only 5% until the end of 2022. Recent legislative changes radically alter this benefit, and in 2025, the dividend tax becomes 10%, with an increase to 16% planned for 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1541\">This increase places Romania above the regional average. For example, Bulgaria maintains 5%, Hungary has 15%, Poland 19%, and the Czech Republic 15%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1701\">The rise in dividend tax aims to balance capital taxation versus labor taxation, considering the tendency to remunerate employees through micro-enterprises.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1775\">VAT \u2013 increase with impact on consumption and competitiveness<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1776\" data-end=\"2324\">Romania\u2019s standard VAT was long set at 19%, a level that maintained a balance between budget revenues and price attractiveness. Starting August 1, 2025, the rate increased to 21%. By comparison, Hungary has 27% (the highest in the EU), Poland 23%, the Czech Republic 21%, Bulgaria 20%, and Slovakia has announced a move to 23% from 2025. Even if not at Hungary\u2019s level, this increase shifts Romania from the \u201cmoderate\u201d zone to the higher range in the region, which may reduce attractiveness for price-sensitive sectors such as retail and tourism.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2331\" data-end=\"2396\">Micro-enterprise regime \u2013 reduced room for tax optimization<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2397\" data-end=\"2597\">Before 2023, micro-enterprises could have a turnover of up to EUR 1 million and paid income tax of 1% or 3% (depending on the number of employees), being a preferred option for SMEs and freelancers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2599\" data-end=\"2956\">Starting in 2024, the ceiling was lowered to EUR 500,000, and beginning in 2025 it is reduced to approx. EUR 60,000 for the 1% rate, with the rest taxed at 3%. In addition, certain fields, such as consulting and IT, have additional eligibility restrictions. Many companies that used this regime will shift to corporate tax, increasing their fiscal burden.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2963\" data-end=\"3020\">Fiscal digitalization \u2013 Romania ahead of the region<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3021\" data-end=\"3516\">One chapter where Romania is ahead of many countries in the region is the digitalization of tax processes. The RO e-Invoice system becomes mandatory starting in 2025 for all B2B and B2C transactions, according to the Ministry of Finance. The main objective is to reduce the \u201cVAT gap,\u201d an indicator measuring VAT losses in the economy, where Romania had one of the highest percentages in the EU \u2013 over 34% in 2021, decreasing to around 30.6% in 2022 according to the European Commission report.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3518\" data-end=\"3670\">Although implementing e-Invoice requires investments in IT systems and training, in the medium term it can increase collection and reduce tax evasion.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"3677\" data-end=\"3694\">Conclusions<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3695\" data-end=\"3937\">\u2022 Romania maintains a competitive corporate tax, which remains an advantage for attracting investors. However, other countries in the region offer lower rates, reducing Romania\u2019s relative attractiveness and making the advantage less decisive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3939\" data-end=\"4353\">\u2022 The increase in dividend tax removes one of the main fiscal incentives for investors and balances the taxation of capital, which had become an alternative to labor taxation. The advantage for the state is increased revenue, but the net return for investors decreases, which may redirect capital to countries with more favorable tax regimes or push business owners to reinvest more and postpone dividend payments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4355\" data-end=\"4523\">\u2022 The VAT hike may increase state revenues. At the same time, the pressure on domestic consumption and inflation can affect businesses oriented toward the local market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4525\" data-end=\"4799\">\u2022 The narrowing of micro-enterprise incentives expands the tax base and increases fiscal revenues, an advantage for the budget. However, many SMEs and start-ups will bear a higher fiscal burden, which can reduce Romania\u2019s attractiveness for small businesses and freelancers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4801\" data-end=\"5032\">\u2022 The implementation of mandatory e-invoicing improves collection and fiscal efficiency, a long-term advantage. In the short term, however, companies must bear adaptation costs and efforts, which represent a temporary disadvantage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5034\" data-end=\"5145\">\u2022 Romania retains some fiscal advantages and makes progress in digitalization, aiming to increase tax revenues.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"148\" data-end=\"751\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Cabot Transfer
