RO e-Factura is the national system through which invoices are submitted electronically to the Ministry of Finance. It checks the document, applies an electronic seal and makes it available to the recipient.
A PDF sent by email is not, on its own, an invoice submitted through RO e-Factura. To comply with the obligation, the document must be submitted in the format accepted by the system.
Who must use the system?
Subject to the exceptions provided by law, the obligation mainly applies to the following relationships:
- B2B — invoices issued between businesses.
- B2G — invoices issued to public institutions and authorities.
- B2C — invoices issued to individuals, subject to the exceptions provided by law.
For B2C transactions, submitting the invoice to the system does not replace the issuer’s obligation to provide it to the customer by the agreed method.
The deadline applicable in 2026
For invoices issued from 1 January 2026, the deadline for submission to RO e-Factura is 5 working days from the issue date, but no later than 5 working days after the statutory deadline for issuing the invoice.
How is an invoice submitted?
- The invoice is generated in the electronic format accepted by the system, generally XML.
- The document is submitted through the Private Virtual Space (SPV), directly or using integrated invoicing software.
- The system checks the invoice structure and applies the Ministry of Finance’s electronic seal.
- The validation message must be checked and any errors corrected promptly.
