181,674 companies, accounting for 40% of the total, hadsubmitted the single statement for social contributions and theincome tax due by yesterday, but only 16% sent the form via theInternet, according to the ANAF (tax authority) head SorinBlejnar.
"166,116 statements were valid. We are waiting for taxpayers tocorrect the invalid statements. 5% of the statements submitted toANAF offices were declared invalid, as were 15% of those submittedvia the Internet," Blejnar told a press conference.
Ziarul Financiar wrote in its Friday edition that by FridayFebruary 18th, only a quarter of the around 470,000 companies thathave to file the single statement have sent the form, so longqueues are to be expected this week considering that the legaldeadline is February 25th.
Until July 1st 2011, companies can opt between submission of thenew form online, via the e-Romania portal, or at the taxadministration offices. Starting in the second half of the year,all employers will have to submit the statements online. Thisentails acquiring a digital certificate with an electronicsignature application, which allows for an electronic document tobe authenticated. The certificate can be bought from one of theauthorised suppliers (CertSign, DigiSign or TransSped) and must beregistered with the fiscal authorities. A digital certificate costsaround 50 euros.
