Administrator liability for not executing tax obligations in Romania<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the provisions of the\u00a0Tax Procedure Code in Romania<\/strong>, administrators can have their\u00a0sole liability in Romania<\/strong>\u00a0engaged for unpaid tax debts of an insolvent debtor. Thus, along with the debtor, the administrators of the company who, in bad faith, caused the non-declaration and\/or non-payment of\u00a0tax obligations in Romania<\/strong>\u00a0by the due date, are held jointly liable. To hold the administrator\u2019s\u00a0sole liability in Romania<\/strong>\u00a0when there are tax debts, several cumulative conditions stipulated by the\u00a0Tax Procedure Code in Romania<\/strong>\u00a0must be met: the administrator\u2019s bad faith actions, the company\u2019s state of insolvency, and the non-payment of\u00a0tax obligations in Romania\u00a0<\/strong>by the due date. Therefore, the tax authority can determine that a commercial company is insolvent if it has tax debts. A\u00a0commercial lawyer in Romania<\/strong>\u00a0can offer advice on the provisions in the\u00a0Tax Procedure Code in Romania<\/strong>\u00a0regarding the\u00a0administrator liability in Romania<\/strong>\u00a0for the company\u2019s debts and, implicitly, the administrator\u2019s\u00a0sole liability in Romania<\/strong>, as well as the rules in the Companies Law no. 31\/1990.<\/p>\n
