CAEN — Romania's activity-classification scheme — looks like an administrative formality. It is not. The principal CAEN code determines microenterprise eligibility, sectoral licensing, default VAT regime, and which ANAF inspector handles your file. Pick wrong, and recovery costs months.

The microenterprise CIT is famous; Romania's personal-tax side is less so. The 10% flat PIT, 8% dividend tax, and the social-contribution stack determine what an owner-manager actually keeps. The headline rates are competitive — the contribution rules tighten the picture.

Romanian SRL formation is genuinely remote in 2026 — the Trade Register accepts e-signed dossiers from any jurisdiction.

The Romanian microenterprise regime, codified in Title III of Law 227/2015, taxes qualifying SRLs at 1% on turnover. The rules on qualification, the €100,000 threshold, the employee requirement, and what happens at exit are misread frequently — usually by advisors who do not work in the Romanian Fiscal Code.
