Good news for IT employees based in Romania | News Flash

 

In the Official Gazette no. 22/2017 has been published  Order no. 872/5932/2284/2903/2016 regarding the classification of the activities into software creation which provides the condition under which IT employees may benefit from the income tax exemption.

Further to the publication and entering into force of this Order, the Order no 217/1721/1348/825 from 2015 has been repealed.

Changes regarding the income tax exemption

This newly published Order brings the following amendments to the conditions under which the IT employees may benefit from the income tax exemption:

    • The minimum 10,000 USD threshold representing revenues from software creation activities which the hiring companies must obtain has been repealed. As such, it is sufficient for companies to obtain revenues from this type of activities, but no minimum threshold is required;
    • Companies established during the tax year are exempt from obtaining any revenues from software creation activities in the set-up and in following year;
    • Companies that are reorganized during the year are also exempt from obtaining any revenues from software creation activities in the reorganization year.
    • Companies that intend to apply the income tax exemption should carry out software activities which will lead to the creation of an IT product or a part of a product to be sold. This newly introduced provision is rather unclear at this stage, but it could generate difficulties in applying the IT income tax exemption for employees hired by companies which deliver only software services and which do not create a software product.

Documents required for obtaining the income tax exemption

Also, this new Order simplifies the requirement regarding the content of the file that the companies need to prepare in order to apply this exemption. Thus, the file must contain:

    • Copy of the diploma;
    • University transcript;
    • Labor agreement. 

It is enough that these documents contain the mention that they are “according to the original”. In this case, their notarization is no longer necessary.

The other requirements are still valid and no amendments were made:

      • Employing personnel in one of the eligible positions;
      • The existence of an internal order;
      • Existence of an analytical account in the trial balance to reflect the revenues from software creation;
      • Content of the job description.

This Order will be applicable for the revenues related to February 2017.

In order to benefit from the income tax exemption for the revenues relating to January 2017, the previous conditions provided by Order 217/1721/1348/825/2015 need to be met.
