Case: Obtaining a VAT number (CUI) for a non-resident legal entity in Romania

Reading time: 2 min.

Client

A representative of the Ukrainian branch of a European holding, where the beneficiary structure consists of legal entities from the Netherlands and Cyprus, contacted us.

Ukrainian legal entity (branch) – Dutch legal entity – Cypriot legal entity

The Dutch company is engaged in trading animal-based products and exporting them to the EU. The Dutch company planned to carry out transit operations through Romania. Obtaining a VAT number (CUI — Cod de Identificare Fiscală) in Romania is mandatory for companies operating in the domestic market or within the EU. However, registration is also possible voluntarily, as in the case of our client — for optimizing tax procedures.

Objective

To obtain a VAT number in Romania for the Dutch legal entity to ensure further transit through the country, and consequently to open a bank account.

Result

  1. The complete package of documents was collected and submitted for CUI registration to ANAF (Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală — National Tax Authority of Romania).
    – Extracts from the trade register of the country of residence (Cyprus, Netherlands)
    – Application for obtaining CUI (with clarifications for the tax authority)
    – Power of attorney for a representative in Romania
    (All documents were duly notarized, apostilled, and translated into Romanian)
  2. CUI was obtained for the Dutch company.
  3. The package of documents for opening a bank account was prepared:
    – Extract from the trade register of the country of residence
    – VAT certificate
    – Documents of directors/shareholders of the Dutch company
    – Power of attorney for a representative in Romania
    – Proof of source of funds (contracts, financial statements)
  4. The bank account was successfully opened.

Thanks to the comprehensive legal support provided by Prikhodko & Partners, the client successfully obtained a VAT number (CUI) for the Dutch company in Romania, enabling legal transit operations through its territory and optimizing tax procedures. Our team ensured full preparation of documents (trade register extracts, apostilled powers of attorney, translations), submission of the application to ANAF, and further coordination with the tax authority. Obtaining the CUI not only avoided business restrictions within the EU but also made it possible to open a corporate bank account in a Romanian bank, significantly simplifying financial operations and providing additional opportunities for scaling export activities. We continue to support the client in further compliance with Romanian tax and customs requirements!
