Invoice requirements in Romania



According to the Fiscal Code and ANAF regulations, each invoice must contain:

- Name and address of supplier and customer
- CIF/CUI of both parties
- Registration number at the Trade Register
- Issue date and unique sequential number
- Description of goods or services
- Quantity and unit price excluding TVA
- TVA rate: 19% (standard), 9% (reduced), 5% (super-reduced)

RO e-Factura (ANAF)



RO e-Factura is the mandatory electronic invoicing system in Romania, managed by ANAF. Implementation timeline:

- 2022 — mandatory for B2G transactions
- 1 January 2024 — mandatory for all B2B transactions between Romanian tax residents
- Future plans — extension to B2C and cross-border transactions under the ViDA directive

All B2B invoices must be transmitted in XML format compliant with UBL 2.1 / CII standards and receive a unique index number. Untransmitted invoices are not fiscally valid. The e-Transport system monitors goods transport, and e-TVA digitises VAT declarations.

Zoho Invoice, as an international platform, may need additional configuration or integration with a local e-invoicing provider for complete RO e-Factura compliance. Check zoho.com/invoice for current Romania e-Factura support.

FAQ

Zoho Invoice already connects to Stripe, so why use striptu?
Zoho's native link lets customers pay invoices through Stripe, but it does not automatically turn every Stripe payment into a finished invoice. striptu is the connector that automates that flow, creating the matching Zoho Invoice document from each Stripe event without manual work.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
No. striptu requires no coding. You link your Stripe and Zoho Invoice accounts and we configure the automation for you, with a standard setup ready in minutes.
Will every Stripe payment be invoiced in Zoho Invoice automatically?
Yes. Once connected, each completed Stripe payment or subscription renewal can generate the matching invoice in Zoho Invoice automatically, with the correct TVA rate and sequential numbering.
Does striptu submit my invoices to RO e-Factura?
No. striptu connects Stripe to Zoho Invoice so your invoices are created automatically, but transmitting structured invoices to ANAF's RO e-Factura system requires a dedicated e-invoicing provider. You should verify your e-Factura setup separately for full ANAF compliance.
What does it cost and is there a free trial?
striptu is an affordable monthly subscription and your first 10 transactions are free, so you can test the full flow before committing. Get started at https://striptu.com.
