E-Invoicing in Romania — mandatory RO e-Factura, UBL 2.1

As of June 2026: Romania has one of the EU's strictest e-invoicing regimes. Domestic B2B e-invoicing via the RO e-Factura platform has been mandatory since 1 January 2024 (with full enforcement from 1 July 2024), B2C reporting since 1 January 2025, and further e-reporting obligations took effect in January 2026. Invoices use the RO_CIUS specification (UBL 2.1 / CII) and must be submitted to the system within five calendar days. Confirm your exact obligations and deadlines with ANAF (Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală).

Romania's RO e-Factura mandate

Romania runs a clearance-style mandate through the government's RO e-Factura platform, accessed via the SPV (Spațiul Privat Virtual) on the ANAF portal. Domestic B2B e-invoicing has been mandatory since 1 January 2024 and B2C since 1 January 2025; invoices must be issued in the RO_CIUS specification (built on UBL 2.1 / CII, EN 16931) and transmitted to ANAF within five calendar days of issuance. This is a strong, fully live mandate — not a future proposal — so structured output is essential for anyone trading in Romania.

How Invotify Helps

Romania's RO_CIUS is based on UBL 2.1, which is exactly what Invotify's Pro e-invoicing exports — clean, EN 16931-compliant UBL 2.1 (and Peppol BIS 3.0) structured files. That gives you the right starting format to feed into the RO e-Factura / SPV submission flow through your access point or accountant, rather than wrestling an ad-hoc PDF into shape. Invotify provides standards-based export only; the final SPV upload and the RO_CIUS-specific validation are completed by your e-Factura submission channel. E-invoice export is a paid Pro feature.

E-Invoicing in Romania —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q01

Is B2B e-invoicing mandatory in Romania?

Yes. Domestic B2B e-invoicing through the RO e-Factura platform has been mandatory since 1 January 2024, with full enforcement from 1 July 2024. B2C reporting followed on 1 January 2025. This is a live, enforced mandate — confirm your specific scope and any thresholds with ANAF.

Q02

What format does Romania's RO e-Factura require?

Invoices must follow the RO_CIUS (Romanian Core Invoicing Usage Specification), which is built on UBL 2.1 / CII and the EN 16931 European standard. Invotify Pro exports EN 16931-compliant UBL 2.1 and Peppol BIS 3.0, giving you a compatible structured starting point for the RO_CIUS submission.

Q03

What is the SPV and how do invoices reach ANAF?

The SPV (Spațiul Privat Virtual) is your private inbox on the ANAF portal, and RO e-Factura is the central platform where invoices are cleared and made available to recipients. Invoices must be submitted within five calendar days of issuance. Invotify produces the structured file; the actual SPV transmission is handled by your e-Factura access point or accounting software.

Q04

Does Invotify submit invoices to RO e-Factura for me?

No. Invotify provides standards-based export — UBL 2.1 and Peppol BIS 3.0 — not a direct connection to the SPV. You hand the compliant file to your RO e-Factura submission channel, access point or accountant for the final upload and ANAF clearance. This keeps your output portable and interoperable across providers.

Q05

What changed for 2025 and 2026 in Romania?

B2C transaction reporting in RO e-Factura became mandatory from 1 January 2025, and additional domestic e-reporting obligations took effect in January 2026. The regime keeps tightening, so verify the current rules and deadlines with ANAF before each reporting period.
