I ORDINANCE No. 16/2023 amending and supplementing Law No. 207/2015 on the Fiscal Procedure Code
Published in the Official Gazette no. 86/ 31.01.2023
The Ordinance transposes into Romanian law the provisions of European Directive 2021/514 of 22 March 2021 (known as the “DAC7 Directive”), which amends Directive 2011/16/EU on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation.
The DAC7 Directive brings a new set of reporting obligations for digital platform operators who will have to submit to the tax authorities certain information about the income of sellers operating on these platforms. Under DAC7, reporting on transactions within the same jurisdiction is also included, unlike DAC6, which only covered cross-border transactions and targeted other categories of intermediaries.
The obligation to report to the tax authorities the income of platform sellers falls on digital platform operators.
A platform is any software, website or part of a website, including mobile applications that are accessible to users and that allow sellers to be connected with other users.
A platform operator is an entity that provides sellers with a platform or part of a platform on which they can connect with users of the platform to conduct their business.
The entity is:
+ resident for tax purposes in Romania or another Member State
+ is not resident for tax purposes in Romania or another Member State but meets the conditions:
-
- it is incorporated under the laws of Romania or another Member State,
- or has its registered office in Romania or another Member State,
- or has a permanent establishment in Romania or another Member State
+ does not meet the above criteria but facilitates a reportable activity by a reportable vendor or an activity involving the letting of immovable property situated in Romania or in a Member State.
The relevant activity is the reportable activity, is carried out for consideration, and falls into the following areas:
+ letting of immovable property, including residential and commercial property and any other immovable property and parking spaces
+ personal services
+ sale of goods
+ rental of any means of transport
The reporting deadline is 31 January of the year following the year in which the seller was identified in the platform, so the first reporting deadline will be 31 January 2024 and will include information for 2023. Reporting will be on an annual basis.
These regulations also provide penalties for non-compliance.
