According to the Fiscal Council, the digitization of ANAF, including e-Invoice, should bring 19 billion lei to the state budget this year. However, as HotNews.ro wrote, there is currently no Big Data project to analyze the collected data.

Present at the conference organized by PwC Romania, the head of ANAF, Nicolet Circiumaru, was asked: how will ANAF use data (for example, from electronic invoices or cash registers) so that we can see that all the efforts of taxpayers will be visible in these revenues to the budget?

“They will definitely not see each other soon. This large Big Data project has a term of implementation, according to experts, of 2-3 years. Until we reach the final form, we are working on some intermediate modules that will help us collect data, analyze it and implement it to figure out what we need to do,” Sirchiumaru said.

The project, which will make it easier for ANAF employees to analyze the data sent in the electronic invoice, will be available only from 2026. Until then, it is only an obligation and additional costs for taxpayers. This is evidenced by expert discussions at the TaxEU forum.

This is an APIC project that represents the implementation of big data analysis solutions.

In principle, the same is now happening with the connection of cash registers to ANAF and SAF-T. Nothing happens because this system is missing.

Lawyer Gabriel Birish said SAF-T data, electronic invoices and cash registers require big data analysis.

“There are some costs that the state has imposed on us, but it still cannot bring benefits. Now he uses an electronic account for free. The government should be fined for the e-invoicing campaign that reduced evasion because it’s a false campaign,” Birish said.
