ANAF Rewards Taxpayers for Early Compliance: 43.5 Million Lei in Bonuses Distributed
According to a recent press release from ANAF, the tax authority has reported positive outcomes resulting from the implementation of administrative simplification measures and voluntary compliance incentives in 2026. ANAF officials emphasize that the introduction of the pre-filled single declaration form for taxpayers represents a significant step in tax modernization, reducing bureaucracy and streamlining the declaration process.
One of the key incentives mentioned is the 3% bonus offered to taxpayers who fulfill their tax obligations ahead of time. This initiative has reportedly influenced taxpayers’ compliance behavior, leading to a notable increase in voluntary compliance rates. The data reveals several key statistics:
- 408,224 taxpayers submitted the single declaration, marking a 23.24% rise from the previous year.
- 78,322 taxpayers took advantage of the early payment bonus.
- The total sum of bonuses distributed reached 43.5 million lei.
- Budget revenues linked to these initiatives surged by 2.12 billion lei compared to the same period in 2025, totaling 3.04 billion lei.
These figures underscore the positive impact of the implemented measures on tax compliance and revenue collection. ANAF’s efforts to incentivize early compliance have not only benefited taxpayers but have also significantly contributed to the overall improvement of the tax system in Romania.
