The digitalization and modernization of ANAF, the improvement of communication with taxpayers, individuals or legal entities, were just some of the wishes (and requirements) of the business environment. Here that the year 2022 is also full of changes in the tax system, some of the fiscal measures being assumed with clear deadlines in the PNRR.

At the level of digitization, we have already seen the first progress: the process of connecting the cash registers to the ANAF system has been completed, and the SAF-T system and the electronic invoice (RO e-Invoice) have also become mandatory.

The purpose of the new tax reporting is to create a much higher level of transparency in the relationship between taxpayers and tax authorities. It is essential that the efforts of both the business community and the tax administration achieve their goals and, in the future, see shorter tax control times, lower tax compliance costs, simplification or even the elimination of certain tax returns. , but also an improvement of the collection and the creation of a more equitable environment for the economic agents.

Although these measures were announced and have been under discussion since last year, economic agents having a period of several months to familiarize themselves with the subject and prepare, yet a recent study published by EY Romania shows that the business environment is not still 100% ready for "such a quick implementation" of the new tax reports. All of these reports come with multiple associated challenges, ranging from understanding the requirements, additional compliance costs, calibrating ERP solutions, or identifying suitable solutions for preparing data in the required formats.

As a well-established provider of business systems, we analyzed the complexity of the new tax reporting requirements, the breadth of data to be provided, the variation and specificity in ERP implementation and came up with solutions to meet all these challenges.
