The government keeps all the income tax (10%) you pay as an employee unless you file a return, according to which part of the money, up to 3.5%, can be transfer to NGOsthrough declaration 230.

Although many are unhappy with the way the government spends their money, they still don’t submit this form because it’s easy to fill out. I can do a good deed, I can save or change a life.

Declaration 230 can be found on the ANAF website or on the websites of public organizations (where it is pre-filled with basic information).

The filling is not difficult at all. Very simple: name, surname, identification number, etc. This is one page with several fields.

Where to apply 230: 3 ways

1. The form must be submitted to ANAF, that is, to the institution from which you downloaded declaration 230.

The easiest option is to submit it through a virtual private space. That is, online (it’s a matter of a few clicks).

2. This can also be sent to the NGO or organization you want to divert up to 3.5%.

3. It can also be submitted in paper form directly at the ANAF registry or by mail with acknowledgment of receipt.

Who cannot submit a declaration 230

Declaration 230 can be submitted by any worker in Romania, except for IT scientists, those working in the construction and food industries, and those engaged in scientific research (since they do not pay income tax).

Recently, even state employees cannot submit documents, because the legislation has changed: they have the same opportunities as private employees.
