Noile prevederi ale Codului fiscal<br />
New Provisions of the Fiscal Code<br />
Noile prevederi ale Codului fiscal, aplicabile `ncep‚nd cu 1 ianuarie<br />
2007, cuprind m\suri legislative care vizeaz\ `n special adaptarea<br />
legisla]iei fiscale române la noul context generat de aderarea<br />
Rom‚niei la Uniunea European\.<br />
Pe de o parte, se constat\ o tendin]\ de generalizare a aplic\rii cotei<br />
de impozit unice de 16% pentru toate tipurile de venituri (ex: cota unic\<br />
de impozit pe venit se va aplica c‚[tigurilor din toate transferurile valorilor<br />
mobiliare `n societ\]ile `nchise [i a p\r]ilor sociale `n societ\]ile cu<br />
r\spundere limitat\, indiferent de durata de]inerii acestora). Pe de alt\<br />
parte, impozitul pe veniturile din transferul propriet\]ii imobiliare s-a<br />
modificat prin `nlocuirea cotei unice aplicate la c‚[tig cu un procent aplicat<br />
la valoarea tranzac]iei la care se adaug\ o sum\ fix\.<br />
Impozitul pe veniturile unei micro`ntreprinderi a fost modificat de la<br />
3% `n anul 2006 la 2% `n anul 2007, 2,5% `n anul 2008, 3% `n anul 2009.<br />
Facilitatea creat\ aparent prin diminuarea impozitului cu 1% a fost `ns\<br />
paralizat\ prin reducerea sferei societ\]ilor care pot fi considerate, din<br />
punct de vedere fiscal, micro`ntreprindere. A[adar, micro`ntreprindere<br />
va fi numai acea societate care realizeaz\ cel pu]in jum\tate din volumul<br />
veniturilor sale din alte activit\]i dec‚t cele de consultan]\ [i management.<br />
~n prezent, majoritatea micro`ntreprinderilor realizeaz\ venituri `n<br />
special din activit\]i de consultan]\ [i management, urm‚nd a fi supuse<br />
pe viitor impozitului pe profit (16%) `n condi]iile sus-men]ionate.<br />
Taxa pe valoarea ad\ugat\ beneficiaz\, de asemenea, de o reglementare<br />
adaptat\ contextului ader\rii Rom‚niei la Uniunea European\<br />
prin desfiin]area barierelor vamale `ntre statele membre [i aplicarea unitar\<br />
a normelor comunitare. No]iunile de export [i import de bunuri `n<br />
raporturile dintre statele membre sunt `nlocuite cu no]iunile de livrare [i<br />
achizi]ie intracomunitar\, fiind reglementate cazurile [i condi]iile `n care<br />
opera]iunile intracomunitare sunt supuse impozit\rii, precum [i documentele<br />
[i declara]iile ce trebuie `ntocmite. A fost reglementat\ no]iunea<br />
de grup fiscal, precum [i condi]iile implement\rii acesteia (facilitatea<br />
const\ `n aceea c\ grupul fiscal va pl\ti sau, dup\ caz, va solicita rambursarea<br />
taxei rezultate din decontul de tax\ consolidat con]in‚nd rezultatele<br />
deconturilor de TVA ale tuturor membrilor grupului fiscal). Alte<br />
modific\ri privesc „abolirea“ facturilor cu regim special, reglementarea<br />
unor forme diverse de facturi (facturi centralizatoare, simplificate etc.) [i<br />
a transmiterii acestora prin mijloace electronice.<br />
Regimul accizelor a fost, de asemenea, modificat ca urmare a necesit\]ii<br />
armoniz\rii legisla]iei fiscale cu cea prev\zut\ de directivele<br />
europene (pentru anumite produse, accizele au fost majorate, pentru<br />
altele reduse, noi produse au devenit accizabile etc.). Nu `n ultimul r‚nd,<br />
domeniul impozitelor [i taxelor locale a suferit modific\ri at‚t `n ceea ce<br />
prive[te cuantumul taxelor, c‚t [i datele de plat\ ale acestora. ∫<br />
New regulations of the<br />
Fiscal Code, applicable<br />
starting with January 1 st ,<br />
2007, include legislative actions<br />
mainly relating to the alignment of<br />
the Romanian fiscal legislation to<br />
the European legal framework.<br />
On one hand, it is noticed a prevailing<br />
tendency for generalizing<br />
the flat-rate tax of 16% for all types<br />
of incomes (i.e. the income flat-rate<br />
tax shall apply to capital gains<br />
related to all transfers of securities<br />
in closed companies and of shares<br />
in a limited liability company, irrespective<br />
of the period of their possession).<br />
On another hand, the<br />
income tax related to real estate<br />
transfers has changed, namely the<br />
flat-rate tax applied on the gain has<br />
been replaced by a percentage<br />
applied to the transaction value to<br />
which a flat amount is added.<br />
Tax on micro enterprises’<br />
incomes was modified from 3% in<br />
2006 to 2% in 2007, to 2.5% in 2008<br />
and to 3% in 2009. The facility<br />
apparently created by the diminishing<br />
of tax with 1 percent was<br />
considerably paralyzed by reducing<br />
the companies’ area which<br />
can be considered from fiscal point<br />
of view as micro enterprise. In<br />
accordance with the new provisions,<br />
a micro enterprise shall be<br />
only that company achieving at<br />
least half of its incomes volume<br />
from other activities than consultancy<br />
and management activities.<br />
Currently, the incomes obtained<br />
by most of micro enterprises are<br />
mainly from management and<br />
consultancy activities, being subsequently<br />
subject to the profit tax<br />
(16%) under the aforesaid terms.<br />
The Value Added Tax benefits<br />
from a regulation adapted to the<br />
new context for Romania as member<br />
of the European Union as a<br />
result of customs barriers suppression<br />
between member states and<br />
as the European Norms shall be<br />
applied unitary. The import and<br />
export notions of goods between<br />
member states are replaced by the<br />
notions of intra-communitarian<br />
delivery and acquisition, being<br />
regulated the cases and conditions<br />
where the intra-communitarian<br />
operations are subject to taxation,<br />
as well as the documents and<br />
statements to be drafted. Also, the<br />
notion of fiscal group was regulated<br />
as well as the conditions for its<br />
implementation (the facility consists<br />
of the fact that the fiscal<br />
group shall pay or, as the case may<br />
be, shall request the reimbursement<br />
of the tax resulted from the<br />
consolidated tax deduction containing<br />
the VAT deductions’ results<br />
of all fiscal group’s members).<br />
Other amendments regard<br />
the “abolishment“ of special regime<br />
invoices, regulation of different<br />
forms of invoices (centralized,<br />
simplified invoices) and their<br />
transmission by electronic means.<br />
Excises’ regime was also amended<br />
as a result of the harmonization<br />
necessity of Romanian fiscal<br />
legislation with the European directives<br />
(for certain products the<br />
excises were increased, for other<br />
products they were decreased,<br />
new products became excisable<br />
etc.). Last but not least, the provisions<br />
related to the local taxes<br />
have been also amended, both<br />
regarding their amount and their<br />
payment date. ∫<br />
