From 1 August 2025, the Romanian government:
- Increased the standard VAT rate from 19% to 21%

The new 11% VAT rate applies to medicines, basic foodstuffs without sugar or alcohol, books and newspapers, hotel accommodation, cultural services (museums, castles, monuments) and restaurant and catering services.
