The TVA system in Romania was introduced in 1993, making it one of the modern implementations of value added taxation in the region.


How to Calculate

How to Calculate TVA in Romania


Calculating TVA in Romania involves two primary operations: adding TVA to a net amount and removing TVA from a gross amount. Here's how each calculation works:


Adding TVA (Net to Gross)


When you have a net price (excluding TVA) and need to calculate the final price including TVA:


Formula: Gross Amount = Net Amount x (1 + 19/100)

Multiplier: 1.1900


Example Calculation:

  • Net Amount: 100.00
  • TVA Rate: 19%
  • TVA Amount: 100.00 x 19/100 = 19.00
  • Gross Amount: 100.00 + 19.00 = 119.00

    • Removing TVA (Gross to Net) - Reverse Calculation


    When you have a gross price (including TVA) and need to extract the net amount and TVA:


    Formula: Net Amount = Gross Amount / (1 + 19/100)

    Divider: 1.1900


    Example Calculation:

  • Gross Amount: 119.00
  • TVA Rate: 19%
  • Net Amount: 119.00 / 1.1900 = 100.00
  • TVA Amount: 119.00 - 100.00 = 19.00
