A foreign national transferred to Romania by an employer will become liable to pay Romanian individual income tax. This applies only to income sourced in Romania, such as:
- salary received from a foreign employer for services provided in Romania
- employment income
- income from a source in Romanian territory
Romania has no special tax regulations for expatriates. However, there are some basic guidelines to help an individual determine their tax:
- Where a foreign national resides in Romania for part of a year, he/she will only be considered subject to Romanian individual income tax for that portion of the year, paying according to a monthly tax bracket.
- A taxpayer is defined as any individual who physically spends more than 183 days in Romania, over any 12-month period or who has developed a fixed base on Romanian soil.
- The taxpayer will only be subject to Romanian individual income tax for income coming from Romanian sources.
- A husband and wife are required to submit separate monthly individual income tax declarations for their individual Romanian income.
- Anyone with a local employment contract must pay individual income tax and social security contributions.
- Benefits are taxable at their market value.
