Direct sponsorship
The company signs a written sponsorship agreement and pays the beneficiary directly. To claim the tax credit, the NGO must appear in the ANAF Register on the agreement date.
Tax redirection
We verified the current procedure for people with salary income and companies liable for corporate income tax in Romania.
Eligible individuals use Form 230. Corporate income taxpayers can enter into a direct sponsorship or ask ANAF to transfer the unused portion of the annual ceiling through Form 177.
ASTEMA is registered for tax purposes under certificate no. 666666 and can be named as beneficiary in Form 230, sponsorship agreements and Form 177.
Form 230 allows up to 3.5% of annual tax on salaries and salary-equivalent income to be assigned.
For income earned from 2024 onwards, the procedure applies to salaries and salary-equivalent income. Pensions, self-employment, rent and other categories are no longer covered by this mechanism. The procedure is not available if you have already opted with your employer or payer for allocation through withholding at source.
Enter your details and the beneficiary's details. You may opt for the same beneficiary for two years. The combined percentage assigned to all beneficiaries cannot exceed 3.5%.
The request may be filed through SPV or e-guvernare, delivered to an ANAF registry office, sent by registered mail with confirmation, or handed to the beneficiary NGO for central submission.
The tax authority calculates and transfers the amount. The beneficiary must appear in the Register of entities and religious units at the time of payment.
The deadline was 25 May 2026. Under the rule currently in force, the deadline for salary income earned in 2026 is 25 May 2027, but the form and calendar will be checked again before the campaign.
The tax facility is capped at the lower of 0.75% of turnover and 20% of corporate income tax due.
D177 is available to corporate income taxpayers. Micro-enterprises may sponsor from their own funds, but for 2024 and later years they can no longer use this facility against micro-enterprise revenue tax.
Direct sponsorships and applicable carry-forwards reported in Form 101 are deducted from the lower of the 0.75% and 20% limits.
The form requires the beneficiary's name, tax ID, IBAN and address, the agreement number and date, and the requested amount. It may include multiple beneficiaries.
For calendar fiscal year 2026, the standard deadline is 25 June 2027. ANAF checks payment of the tax and may reject the request if the liability is unpaid or the tax is due at the minimum turnover tax level.
The company pays in the first case; ANAF pays in the second. Both require a written agreement, and the relevant date for checking the NGO in the ANAF Register differs.
ASTEMA is a registered association holding tax registration certificate no. 666666 and receives allocations through the applicable tax mechanisms.
