SAF-T Romania

Declarația informativă D406 Fișierul Standard de Control Fiscal

In 2020, Romania Tax Authority (ANAF) introduced its own SAF-T (fișierul standard de audit de taxe), named Informative Declaration D406. SAF-T was first developed by the OECD in 2005. It has since become a standard in Europe for the electronic exchange of accounting data between tax authorities and taxpayers. The format is based on XML (a machine-readable format), internationally standardized for electronic tax reports and VAT reporting.

 

IS SAF-T MANDATORY IN ROMANIA? SAF-T ESTE OBLIGATORIE ÎN ROMÂNIA?

The SAF-T is mandatory for large taxpayers starting from 2022. Tax authority divided large taxpayers into 2 cycles. In the first cycle, there are large taxpayers which are in the 2017’s large taxpayer list published by ANAF. In the second cycle, 400 large companies were added, after  updating the large taxpayer list in  2021. Additional 400 large companies join the obligation in July 2022. 

For medium-sized taxpayer’s obligation will begin in 2023 and  small-sized and non-resident companies will join in 2025. The deadline for the submission is the last calendar day of the following month of the relevant tax period.

 

SAF-T MONTHLY / QUARTERLY REPORT

The D406 statement must be submitted to the Romanian Tax Authority each month or each quarter, depending on the bookkeeping method (single/double entry). Taxpayers who are not registered for VAT purposes will submit SAF-T files quarterly.

Starting on 1 January 2022, taxpayers will have a six-month grace period. The first half of (January to June) 2022 must be reported by the end of July 2022.
