Romanian micro-company

[busdriver]

Just a flat 3% corporate taxe on income (not on profit). For some type of income, where you don’t have expenses, it might be the best option

"a flat 3% corporate taxe on income" - is there a maximum turn-over? Sounds like a nice way to tax your profits if you have a separate company operating the business and moving the profits for what ever reason (licence, consulting, ...)

1 million euro turnover max for the 3%. Above 1 million you pay 16% and you are not classified as micro enterprise anymore.

 

[Mr Magoo]

and the 3% tax is not on profits but on turnover. Payable every quarter.

I spoke to my accountant and she said it really doesn't matter what anyone offers in regards of Corp tax as if your country is 'CFC' then you will pay the difference in Corp tax in your home country and pay dividends tax if your country imposes it.
She said even if you have employees but you are the ultimate ubo it's still taxed in your home country...

Is this specific to Romania? Most countries have some form of economic substance exemption in their CFC rules

Well I know for Croatia , as I asked my accountant and this isn't a good idea.. for other countries idk.
Further more in Croatia all legislation is done in a way so it can be interpreted any way they like ...

How is your Croatia answer relevant to a thread on Romania?

I just said what I know for sure about Croatia. Perhaps someone from Croatia is looking at this and thinking about using such solution for themselves...

They do not have a website, work only thought recommendation.

@busdriver
A foreign person can establish a company here same easy as a citizen, only that if you want to take VAT you need first to take NIF ( is a personal number for fiscal identification ) for each foreign shareholder of the company. Office can be rented for 1 year at lawyer ( virtual only ), contact person is not mandatory but always is the accountant/lawyer, the tax ( for micro, below 1m EURO turnover ) is 3% on the turnover and 5% applied again on the profit, and add of course costs of taxes for employees, VAT etc.

In Romania is pretty easy to do everything, even open a bank account, even if you are not a resident. I just set up a company in Romania as well. As Bulgaria, they're not "digital-friendly" at all, but it's still worth.

So absolute minimum is 8% tax?

It is a bit less than 8%. It is not 3% + 5% from the total.
