Romania launches overhaul of tax agency ANAF, shifting services online

Romania’s Ministry of Finance has initiated a sweeping reorganisation of the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF), closing numerous local tax offices and accelerating the shift towards digital services, as part of a broader effort to improve tax collection and reduce administrative costs, Cursdeguvernare.ro reported.

Finance minister Alexandru Nazare said the reform will target municipal, city, and communal offices, many of which will be shut down, with services gradually moved online. Staff from the affected units are to be reassigned to areas with a high risk of tax evasion, signalling a pivot from routine administration to enforcement.
