Company taxes in Romania

The standard corporate profit tax rate in Romania is 16%.

However, small companies with an annual turnover of less than a million euros (at the Central Bank exchange rate at the end of the fiscal year) are referred to as ‘micro companies’ and they are subject to a 1% to 3% tax.

  • Romanian companies with at least one employee pay a 1% tax;
  • Companies without employees pay a 3% tax.

These tax rates are quite comparable with the tax rates in offshore jurisdictions.

The dividend tax is 5% in Romania. Dividends can be paid every quarter. They can be paid in the form of real assets or in the monetary form.

Some types of bonuses are not taxable in the country.
