Single Tax Return 2026: How to Make the Most of the ANAF Seminars on Form 212

The importance of the Single Tax Return and the meaning of Form 212

The Single Tax Return is an essential tax document for individuals and legal entities who earn income from various sources in Romania. It is the instrument through which the taxes and social contributions owed to the state are declared, calculated and paid. Form 212, an integral part of this process, plays a crucial role in reporting self-employed income, agricultural activities, rental of property and other income that is not covered by withholding at source.

The current context, marked by frequent legislative changes and the continuing digitalisation of tax services, makes it harder for entrepreneurs, freelancers and people with several sources of income to comply properly with their tax obligations. That is why ANAF (National Agency for Fiscal Administration)'s initiative to hold online seminars dedicated to Form 212 and the Single Tax Return in March 2026 is a valuable opportunity for any taxpayer registered in, or with tax obligations in, Romania.

Who are the ANAF seminars on Form 212 for?

The seminars are intended both for individuals with self-employed activities and for professionals who have to declare income from various sources. The direct beneficiaries include:

• Entrepreneurs registered as PFA (sole traders) or individual enterprises, who must declare and pay tax on the income they earn, as well as social contributions;
• People who earn income from agricultural activities or rent, who use Form 212 to report these receipts;
• Freelancers and independent consultants, who must comply with the latest legislative changes on social contributions and the taxation rules in force;
• Accountants, tax consultants and other professionals in finance and accounting, who assist clients with filing their tax returns.

Because each seminar is limited to 500 participants, registering early is essential if you want to benefit from these concentrated, practical sessions.

Recent changes and news on Form 212

Form 212 is updated periodically to reflect the adaptation of the tax framework to economic and social realities, as well as the measures taken by the authorities to simplify procedures. For 2026, the main changes concern:

• Updated income codes and categories of social contributions, in line with the latest legislative changes on the tax regime for self-employed activities and agriculture;
• Changes to the way mandatory social contributions are calculated, which also affect contribution thresholds and exemption options;
• Additional digital tools introduced in the Virtual Private Space (Spațiul Privat Virtual) for the electronic submission and checking of returns;
• Clarification of the obligations regarding deadlines and supporting documents needed to complete Form 212 correctly.

These changes can cause confusion and a risk of non-compliance, which makes attending the ANAF seminars an essential starting point for correct and efficient tax management.

What should entrepreneurs prepare before the seminar?

Taking part in this information session will be all the more useful if entrepreneurs and professionals prepare a few essential documents and pieces of information in advance:

• Copies of previous returns – to compare them and understand the recent changes;
• Data on the income recorded in the previous year – so that they can understand the impact on the calculation of taxes and contributions;
• Supporting documents for each source of income (contracts, invoices, agricultural registers, rental agreements);
• Access account for the Virtual Private Space (if already created), so that they can see how to use the platform when filing;
• Specific questions about your personal or company tax situation, so that you can ask them during the seminar.

Proper preparation makes the best use of the time spent in the session and increases the chances of filing without errors or delays.

Recommendations for efficient tax management in 2026

Registering for and attending the ANAF seminars is a proactive strategy for anyone with tax obligations under Form 212. Besides gaining a thorough understanding of the new rules, entrepreneurs should optimise their reporting process and make the fullest use of the resources ANAF offers, including the electronic filing platform.

Correct, up-to-date tax management not only prevents penalties and fines, but also gives clarity in medium- and long-term financial planning, which is crucial for the sustainability of small and medium-sized businesses in today's economic environment.

Setting aside time to attend these seminars and put the new knowledge into practice can save you significant resources and make dialogue with the tax authorities easier, removing some of the administrative stress that entrepreneurs often face.
