ANAF’s big problem, like yours (not taxpayers), is fiscal legislation, said Lucian Geiusz, president of Fiscal, saying they also want simple, predictable, clear fiscal legislation.

“Do you think our inspectors and specialists have it easy with all those legislative changes that come out… every month? I don’t know, the codes are changing, the procedural code, there are laws that contradict each other. There are situations when we come into conflict with those who represent commercial companies, and we have been condemning each other for years,” Geiusz said at the TaxEU forum.

According to him, a very clear, very simple Fiscal Code helps us all.

“It also helps the state to collect taxes and interpret them correctly, it also helps the taxpayer not to get into a difficult situation,” he said.

• “I insist that this Fiscal Code be rewritten, that it be adopted by the political class, that we try to find some clear, predictable, simple mechanisms so that everyone knows what they have to do.”

He stated that there will always be someone who will try to evade taxes and steal.

“It is. We have to catch it. Why confuse someone who wants to be fair and finds himself in a more atypical situation that he does not know how to interpret through the prism of his business? Such things appear when the legislation is very thick,” Lucian noted. Gayush.

For his part, the former head of ANAF, Dragoš Doros, said that the legislation is created “about how to stop thieves, instead of a philosophy of how to help business.”

Australian Tax refunds VAT within 1-3 days

Dragos Doros, current Head of Fiscal Doctrine at KPMG Romania, stated that the main “problem, and not a big one, that ANAF has is that it appears late (not in control), after years when it finds the right things , but the years add up, there are fines and the financial burden is great.”

• “Sometimes it can lead to business closures just because of the delay that ANAF has come in with.”

“I had an Australian tax consultant tell me to look at the Australian Taxation website and see that their mission, one, is not to keep the money they have in their pockets, it has to go somewhere business environment,” Dorosh said.

• “The first goal is to ensure the circulation of money, because we collect taxes from this money. The example he gave me is that VAT is refunded there in 1-3 days. Sad, bitter laugh, but we can achieve it, because this is what we talk about (because of the digitalization of ANAF no).

In this context, Lucian Geiusch wanted to clarify that ANAF reimburses, perhaps even without control, without any analysis.

“Depending on where the taxpayer ended up, there is a possibility of a refund with further control, which will be later, someday,” said the current head of the Federal Tax Service.
