Starting in 2026, Romania will introduce new taxes on properties and vehicles, resulting in significant increases in the tax burdens for citizens and companies.

Romania will implement new tax regulations starting in 2026 aimed at taxing residential properties and vehicles, with the goal of increasing local budget revenues. The contested law project L213/2025 at the Constitutional Court provides for an increase in taxes on buildings and cars, which will create additional tax burdens for property owners.

The legislative changes include an increase in the taxable value of residential buildings, with examples of increases of up to 2.7 times, and a reduction in tax exemptions, thus affecting a larger number of property owners. Additionally, the tax on cars will increase significantly, especially for smaller vehicles, and regulations for hybrid vehicles will become more restrictive.

To manage these changes, specialists recommend legal and tax consulting, considering the complexity of the new regulations and the risks associated with property acquisition. Checking property documents and legal status becomes essential to avoid legal and financial issues. These changes highlight the importance of rigorous preparation in the face of new tax obligations.
