Summary/Abstract: This article analyses implications of H.C.C.J. Decision no. 61/2025, delivered by the Panel for Preliminary Ruling on Questions of Law, in File no. 2468/1/2024. The legal questions sought to determine, on one hand, the taxpayer’s right to rectify their tax return, and on the other hand, the correlation of this right with the effects of an administrative normative act annulment. The ruling of the High Court of Cassation and Justice was categorical regarding the taxpayer’s right to correct their tax return, holding that this right is not limited to correcting material errors, but concerns any mention relevant for determining the taxable subject matter. However, the High Court rejected as inadmissible the legal question concerning the effects of correcting the tax return following the annulment of the normative act establishing the tax, considering it lacking novelty, as it had already been settled by Decision no. 10/2015 which, in the meantime, was declared unconstitutional by Constitutional Court Decision no. 208/2025.
