Romanian security firm fined after ANAF uncovers 14.9 million lei tax fraud

The National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) carried out an anti‑fraud inspection of a security and protection company in Bucharest. Inspectors found that the firm under‑declared its revenue, resulting in an estimated loss to the state of 14.9 million lei (about €3 million). The audit revealed more than 1.5 million work hours that were not reported for tax and social‑security contributions.

ANAF also identified cash irregularities: roughly 17 million lei collected from clients was withdrawn in cash by the company’s representative through unjustified treasury advances or unrecorded cash‑desk withdrawals, leaving a cash‑desk shortfall of about 4.4 million lei. The company owed the state over 6 million lei in unpaid taxes and social contributions. It has been fined more than 1.16 million lei for breaches of financial‑discipline rules, and the tax authority will refer the case to the criminal prosecution service for suspected tax evasion.
