Actualizare CAEN 2026: Majoritatea firmelor și PFA din România „riscă amenzi și blocarea activității” (IMM România) - StartupCafe

A significant 70% of registered businesses in Romania face potential penalties due to outdated CAEN codes by the 2026 deadline. The National Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises warns that only one-third have updated their codes. They urge authorities to extend the deadline to prevent operational disruptions and bureaucratic burdens. Risks include overwhelming the National Trade Register Office, blocking business activities due to unaligned licenses, and difficulties in meeting tax obligations, which could lead to fines. The confederation calls for a public awareness campaign to inform entrepreneurs about the necessary updates and compliance timelines.
