Withholding tax on dividends in Romania

[European]

Yes on total turn over, not on profit. Profit tax is 16%. also after a given sum you will also have to pay VAT, add 19% more.

VAT will be paid by the company's clients or will be 0 if the clients are outside the EU

That's right

That makes it unattractive. You have to hire employees and rent office space but cannot deduct those as expenses??

Depending on your business it could be attractive or not.

For a business with few expenses like a programmer, consultant, web designer and professions like that even paying 12K a year for one employee and office space it will still make sense.
