The Romanian Ministry of
Communications has teamed up with the Ministry of Finance and
the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (NAFA) to
launch an e-invoice pilot project that will allow businesses to
file for VAT reimbursement via internet.

The new service will provide Romanian
companies with online forms aimed at facilitating VAT
recovery.

The system will allow real-time validation of
each value completed in the forms, eliminating possible errors and
excluding the Finance department from the process.

“A form with a validation of fields filled
with a flowchart on the back can only be a sign of fairness. We
want to eliminate things that annoy everyone, to eliminate the
things that can be interpreted so-and-so by officials,” said Dan
Nica, Romanian minister of communications.

The Romanian e-invoicing project will cost
approximately EUR3m to its financier, the EU, and will involve
about 100,000 companies.
