by Anatol Cibotari 21.07.2026

Companies and other taxpayers who pay local taxes have until July 27 to submit their tax reports for the first six months of the year and to pay the amounts owed. The State Fiscal Service warns that exceeding the deadline may result in penalties and late payment increases, reports IPN.

By this date, the Local Tax Report, form TL13, must be submitted, through which taxpayers declare the taxes calculated for the activity carried out. These taxes are set by local authorities and can target areas such as land development, commercial units, markets, parking lots or outdoor advertising.

By July 27, the Report on the Natural Resources Taxes, form TRN21, must also be submitted. The document is mandatory for taxpayers who use resources such as water, sand, gravel, or other resources provided by legislation, and indicates the volumes used and the taxes due.

The State Tax Service recommends taxpayers to submit documents and pay taxes in a timely manner, to avoid potential technical issues or delays. Non-compliance with tax deadlines can lead to the application of fines and late payment surcharges.
