Business operations in Romania are shaped by evolving regulatory and fiscal requirements regarding company structures and reporting.

Initial considerations for entrepreneurs involve the choice between Sole Proprietorship (PFA) and Limited Liability Company (SRL) structures. While an SRL provides the benefit of separating personal assets from business liabilities, it entails higher administrative burdens, including mandatory double-entry bookkeeping and complex taxation on profits and dividends.

Recent regulatory updates under Law no. 239/2025 have introduced stricter rules regarding fiscal inactivity. Companies risk being declared inactive if they fail to submit annual financial statements within five months of the legal deadline, lack a Romanian payment account, or fail to maintain an account with the State Treasury. Furthermore, the transfer of social parts in SRLs now requires notification to the central tax authority within 15 days, a process that triggers a verification of the company’s outstanding tax debts.
