The taxation depends if the seller is a private person or a company.
PRIVATE PERSON
The tax is applied on the value of the transaction with no exceptions. The Romanian Fiscal Code distinguishes now two categories:
1. If the property was transferred before a three years term has lapsed from the acquisition data the tax will be 3% when the value of the transaction is up to 200,000 RON and 6,000 RON plus 2 % of the sum that exceeds 200,000 RON.
2. If the property was hold for more then 3 years the tax will be 2% for a price up to 200,000 RON and 4,000 RON plus 1% of the sum that exceeds 200,000 RON for higher transaction prices.
