The Romanian companies this year will come to be controlled by single control teams dispatched by one and only control body to look into their payment obligations to the state budget and to the social security budget.
At the same time, the taxpayers will not have to deal with any other institution but that where they are registered as such, no matter if it is about declaring incomes, paying taxes, forced executions or ruling on motions.
All this thanks to the establishment of a new institution, the National Financial Management Agency (ANAF) set to become operational this month. The agency is a public institution and a distinct legal entity, has its own budget and is subordinated to the Finance Ministry.
The operation of the agency should eventually lead to less time and paperwork required of a taxpayer for compliance with the fiscal obligations.
ANAF will be in charge of the uniform enforcement of the legislation regulating taxes, duties, social contributions and other types of state budget revenues both at a central level and through its territorial network of subordinated offices.
At the same time, it will handle collection of revenues for other central authorities and institutions, the administration of which it is granted through normative acts. It does not handle the revenues due at the customhouse, though.
State secretary within the Finance Ministry Neculae Plaiasu was appointed chairman of the Agency, although retaining his position in the Ministry. The organisational chart of the new institution has not been completed yet. The establishment of ANAF takes after similar institutions in the European Union and is an attempt to provide as much flexibility as possible to a stuck fiscal administration, incapable of properly collecting the revenues of the State.
The autonomy of the agency will come from its own budget and the exercise of specific management functions - administration, collection, fiscal control, motion solving, taxpayer support.
Its main job is to collect the revenues of the State in form of taxes, duties and other state budget revenues, social security contributions, unemployment contributions, health care insurance contributions, insurance contributions for professional accidents and diseases that are due by the individual and corporate taxpayers, which are employers or are assimilated to such. razvan.voican@zf.ro
