RO e-Transport – a complete analysis

Summary/Abstract: RO e-Transport system is an initiative to monitor the road transport of goods within the territory of Romania, with the main purpose of preventing tax evasion and combating illicit trade. Implemented to improve VAT collection and increase budget revenues, the system applies to shipments of goods with high fiscal risk (BRFR) and international shipments of goods that have Romania as a point of departure or arrival. The system aims the detailed monitoring of the movement of goods, from the point of entry into the country to the final destination, or from the point of departure to the point of exit from the country. In addition, BRFRs are also monitored in terms of domestic movements. System users (recipients, senders, beneficiaries and depositors) have the obligation to declare shipments in RO e-Transport. This involves providing information about the sender, consignee, goods being transported and vehicle details. Each transport is identified by a unique code (UIT), which must be presented by the driver in the event of a control. The system allows the transport data to be updated up to three days before the vehicle is set into motion, and the UIT code remains valid for five days for most transports. However, for intra-Community purchases and intra-Community transit, the code can be valid for up to 15 days. Shipments that do not exceed certain weight and value thresholds are not subject to reporting obligations. Thus, vehicles with a maximum permissible weight below 2.5 tons and goods with a total gross weight below 500 kg or a value below 10,000 lei are exempted. RO e-Transport system should represent a major step towards the modernization and efficiency of fiscal and commercial supervision in Romania. However, the lack of transparency on the part of tax authorities and chaotic regulation lead to a series of deficiencies and risks faced by economic agents.
