RO e-Factura (ANAF)

RO e-Factura is the mandatory electronic invoicing system in Romania, managed by ANAF. Implementation timeline:

- 2022 — mandatory for B2G transactions
- 1 January 2024 — mandatory for all B2B transactions between Romanian tax residents
- Future plans — extension to B2C and cross-border transactions under the ViDA directive

All B2B invoices must be transmitted in XML format compliant with UBL 2.1 / CII standards and receive a unique index number. Untransmitted invoices are not fiscally valid. The e-Transport system monitors goods transport, and e-TVA digitises VAT declarations.

Zoho Invoice, as an international platform, may need additional configuration or integration with a local e-invoicing provider for complete RO e-Factura compliance. Check zoho.com/invoice for current Romania e-Factura support.
