Romania launches e-invoice pilot for VAT refunds

By Raphael Michilis
Romanian Ministry of Communications have teamed up with the Ministry of Finance and NAFA (the National Agency for Fiscal Administration) to launch an e-invoice pilot project that will allow businesses to file for VAT reimbursement via internet.

The new service will provide Romanian companies with online forms supposed to facilitate VAT recovery.

The system will allow real-time validation of each value completed in the forms, eliminating possible errors and excluding the Finance department from the process.

“A form with a validation of fields filled with a flowchart on the back can only be a sign of fairness. We want to eliminate things that annoys everyone, to eliminate the things that can be interpreted so, and so by officials” said Dan Nica, Romanian minister of communications.

The Romanian e-invoicing project will cost approximately € 3m to its financier, the EU, and will involve about 100.000 companies.

“We do not want a pilot project with 10 companies, but have 100,000 companies in the pilot. We want SMEs to be involved in this project. We hope to start this project immediately,” said Nica.
