Romanian Tax Auth To Check Journalists, Artists, Freelancers On VAT Payment

"Following a risk analysis, ANAF found there are individuals who gained income from independent activities, copyright and collaboration contracts exceeding the VAT exemption cap but have not registered to pay this tax," the tax authority said in a press release Sunday.

The people under scrutiny include journalists, financial and political analysts, artists and talk show hosts.

"Although we are aware of the media attacks that will target the institution over these check-ups, no one is above the law," said ANAF head Sorin Blejnar.

Romania's tax law states value added tax is perceived for annual income exceeding EUR35,000.
