Romania is considering increasing VAT rate

The Romanian government is reportedly considering an increase of the standard VAT rate, possibly from 19% to 21%, in response to ongoing concerns about the national budget deficit.

If confirmed, this change could take effect as early as 1 July 2025. Businesses trading with or operating in Romania should stay alert and prepare for potential pricing, system and compliance updates.

We will continue to monitor developments and share updates as soon as more details become available.
