GENERAL INFORMATION
Typical Fees & Car Registration Process in Romania
Assuming you bought a car from another country and you want to register it in Romania, here is a list of fees and taxes (all in the ball-parks) that you might have to pay:
- Authorized Romanian translation of the car procurement papers (invoice, proof of payment etc.): around 100 – 200 RONs, depending on each translator;
- VAT tax – 24% of the invoiced car value (you might have to pay this tax if you purchase the car from a non-EU country or if you bought it, as new, from another EU country);
- Car authentication & technical inspection performed at the Romanian Car Registry (450 RONs). If you want to register an exotic car and its model was never previously registered in Romania, you will have to pass further tests, so the CO2 emissions are calculated;
- Mandatory car insurance (RCA): it’s value depends on the car data (age, engine etc.) and on the owner’s details (age, previous car accidents etc.);
- Car registration tax (between 60 and 145 RONs);
- Car pollution tax (so called “timbrul de mediu”): this is the largest tax that you might have to pay. This tax is payable only if it wasn’t previously paid by a previous owner of that car (so you have to pay it, if you buy a car from abroad). The amount of this tax is calculated depending on the car age, EURO standard, level of CO2 emissions and engine capacity. For your review, here is an online car tax calculator;
- Fee for the car registration certificate (37 RONs);
- Car number plate (40 RONs for a random number, 85 RONs for a pre-selected plate number).
