The tax system in Romania is a great incentive for expats wanting to move to Eastern Europe. Romania has a flat personal income tax rate of 10 percent. For tax purposes, an individual is considered a resident if they reside in Romania for at least 183 days within a 12-month period.

For those expats who are moving to Romania and will work here, the state will require them to pay income tax. This tax applies to both residents and foreigners. That Personal Income Tax stands at 10 per cent. Foreign individuals, regardless of their domicile, will be taxed in Romania only on their income in Romania.
