VAT registration in Romania for your online store
VAT registration in Romania, returns filed in Romania and reconciliation with your accounts in Spain. Fiscal representative, EORI and EPR when needed.
In short
To sell from stock in Romania you need a VAT number in Romania and you must file your returns there. The service includes registration and tax compliance in Romania: periodic returns, EC sales lists, Intrastat and whatever its authority requires.
Standard VAT rate in Romania: 21% (reduced: 11%). Romania changed its rates in 2025 and requires registered businesses to file the SAF-T file: the accounts must be exportable in its format.
When you need a VAT number in Romania
If you are in any of these situations, you need to register before the first sale:
- You hold goods in Romania: your own warehouse, a logistics provider or Amazon FBA, and sell from there to customers in that country.
- You buy in Romania and resell within the country, without the goods leaving.
- You import from outside the EU with customs clearance in Romania in your own name.
- You prefer not to use OSS for distance sales and to file in each country (unusual, but possible).
- You sell to businesses in that country with local delivery from your stock there.

Frequently asked questions
When do I need a Romanian VAT number?
If you hold goods in Romania and sell from there, or if you buy and resell within the country.
Can I declare sales from my stock in Romania through OSS?
Not if the customer is in that same country: it is a domestic sale and is declared there with the local VAT number.
I've been selling in Romania for a while without a VAT number. What do I do?
Regularise it as soon as possible: the registration, the late returns and the replies to tax demands are filed. The longer you wait, the higher the surcharges; and marketplaces end up pulling your stock.
Do you also keep the accounts in Spain?
Yes. Your store's accounting and taxes in Spain and the tax compliance in Romania go through the same point of contact, so what is declared in both countries reconciles.
