Wealthy individuals in Romania are under increased scrutiny from tax authorities, emphasizing the need for accurate income reporting and proper documentation. The ANAF has a specialized unit focusing on high-net-worth individuals, defined as those with assets exceeding 25 million euros. Recent data shows that in the first half of 2026, 313 compliance notifications were sent, and 571 individuals were scheduled for audits. The European debate on wealth taxation highlights the importance of tax design and access to relevant data for effective enforcement. A recent European Commission study indicates that while private wealth has significantly increased, wealth taxes often yield minimal revenue due to high thresholds and exemptions. The topic is also being discussed in the European Parliament, focusing on challenges in identifying and valuing assets across jurisdictions.
