Restaurant services9%

Exports / intra-community supplies0% (exempt with deduction right)
Special operations (reverse charge)VAT is not collected by supplier

Reverse Charge (fiscal reverse obligation)

Block 3 - Reverse charge means VAT payment responsibility shifts to beneficiary, not supplier.

  • intra-community supplies
  • intra-community acquisitions
  • waste, grains, timber supplies
  • B2B transactions between VAT-registered entities
  • construction operations (in specific conditions)

In these cases:

  • Invoice is issued without VAT, with “reverse charge” mention.
  • VAT is declared through accounting mechanism, without cash transfer.

VAT 0% vs VAT exempt

Block 4 - Difference is crucial for deduction rights.

VAT 0% (with deduction right)

Taxable operations at zero rate; input VAT can still be deducted.

Exempt operations without deduction right

Examples: medical services, education. No VAT is collected and no deduction right is available.

Collected VAT vs deductible VAT

Block 5 - Practical example:

  • Company sells goods 10,000 lei + 19% VAT
  • Collected VAT = 1,900 lei
  • Purchases 5,000 lei + 19% VAT
  • Deductible VAT = 950 lei
VAT payable = 1,900 - 950 = 950 lei
