Tax and compliance

Resident treatment: Romania's Fiscal Code (Law 227/2015) provides that resident individuals are taxable on income from any source, with residency tests including presence in Romania over 183 days in any 12-month period (subject to treaty tie-breakers). Non-resident treatment: non-residents are taxed on Romanian-source income unless residency criteria are met. Foreign income exemption: partial because treaty relief and specific statutory exemptions apply to particular categories. Assumptions: effective_income_tax_rate_pct uses the statutory PIT rate of 10%; employee_social_contribution_rate_pct sums employee social insurance (25%) and health insurance (10%); VAT uses the standard statutory rate of 19%. Confidence: high (all core values are anchored in the consolidated Fiscal Code text hosted by ANAF).

Method: LivingCost country-level USD averages retrieved 2026-02-27. Average baseline is the source's 'Total with rent' (one person). Poor baseline is computed as without-rent basket + cheap 1BR + utility bill (1 person) + internet; comfortable baseline is computed as without-rent basket + city-center 1BR + utility bill (1 person) + internet. Baselines: poor $909.5, average $935.1, comfortable $1035.71. monthly_coworking_usd is null because this source does not publish an auditable country-level coworking monthly pass metric. Source date context: LivingCost page content current as of retrieval date. Confidence: medium (aggregated/crowdsourced country averages, significant intra-country city variance).
