Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions?

Can't find the answer to your question? Send us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
What is the minimum capital for an SRL?

Symbolic — RON 1 since the 2020 reform removed the old RON 200 minimum.

What is the micro-enterprise tax?

Qualifying small companies pay 1%–3% of turnover instead of 16% profit tax; eligibility thresholds and conditions have been tightened recently, so we verify your case against current rules.

Can a foreigner own 100% of a Romanian SRL?

Yes — there are no nationality restrictions on shareholders or administrators.

How long does registration take?

Usually 3–5 working days at the ONRC once documents are complete.

Is VAT registration automatic?

No — standard VAT registration is by application (mandatory above the turnover threshold); intra-EU operations may need a special VAT code.
