Romania to increase VAT on most reduced rated supplies from August 2025

30 June 2025

Romania confirmed that from 1 August 2025 most supplies carrying the reduced VAT rates of 5% and 9%, will be subject to the standard VAT rate of 19%. The only exception to this increase will be supplies of basic foods, medicines, fuel, energy and books.

It is hoped this will prevent a possible increase to the standard VAT rate which could see a rise to 21% from January 2026.
