Individuals who spent more than 183 days in Romania within any 12 month period ending in the fiscal year concerned are required to fill in and submit to the Romanian tax authorities a special Questionnaire - Tax residency questionnaire upon arrival in Romania, along with relevant documentation within 30 days after the elapse of the 183-day period.

Based on the file submitted by the individual, the tax authorities will assess whether he/she qualifies for Romanian tax residency and will issue a written notification attesting the fiscal status of the individual. 
  • If the tax authorities conclude that the individual is Romanian tax resident, the person concerned will be taxed in Romania on his/her worldwide income (e.g. interest, dividends) starting from the date when the individual became Romanian tax resident, according to the notification.

  • If the tax authorities conclude that the person concerned is not a Romanian tax resident, he/she will be liable to tax in Romania only on the income derived from Romania.

In the same context, individuals who left Romania for more than 183 days within any 12 month period ending in the fiscal year concerned are also required to fill in and submit to the Romanian tax authorities a similar Questionnaire - Tax residency questionnaire upon departure from Romania, together with relevant documentation, no later than 30 days before departure from Romania.
