Man, what do you know! I was sitting quietly with my coffee and Mioara at the table, when a news item from ANAF fell into my hands – it was like it was written for me. You don't know what I went through, bro, when I saw the numbers.

Man, madness! ANAF checked, between June 2025 and May 2026, some intra-group transactions worth over 199 billion lei. 199 billion, man!

With that much money you could buy half of Berceni, but what do you think? They found additional tax liabilities of about 655 million lei. Of which, over 386 million – corporate income tax.

Now wait, there's more: transfer pricing adjustments separately generated about 179 million lei in additional corporate income tax. That's where the trick is, at transfer prices – meaning companies move money between themselves to avoid paying here, with us. And well, our ANAF got to work, checked taxpayers with high transaction volumes, but also those who reported tax losses like they were bankrupt, even though everyone knows they have factories and cars worth hundreds of thousands of euros.

I had a guy of mine who worked at a company in Argeș, near Mioveni, at an auto parts manufacturer. He said the bosses bought services from companies in Hungary for astronomical sums, and here they declared losses. Exactly what ANAF says: "significant costs generated by intra-group transactions without sufficient economic justification or without clear supporting documents."

Cold-blooded! To see the scale: the tax base was increased by over 3.38 billion lei. Of that, 2.21 billion lei come directly from transfer pricing adjustments.

And it's not all: the tax losses they declared were cut by about 1.79 billion lei, of which 886 million also from transfer pricing adjustments. It's like a Cluj-style cabbage pie: you keep turning, you keep turning, and in the end it still comes to the surface. The most important adjustments were found in sectors with thick transactions: production and distribution of auto parts, the oil industry (that one from Ploiești, because we breathe poison from refineries), industrial production of equipment, textiles, real estate, transportation.

And, as expected, adjustments are concentrated in a small number of companies: the top 15 companies – 64% of the total, and the top 10 – 60%. Basically, if you have 10 companies with connections and relationships, you do what you want, but our ANAF doesn't sleep. And it's not just about audits: appeals confirmed the findings.

From about 324 million lei in contested corporate income tax, almost 193 million were rejected. That is, 60%! 000 lei were admitted.

That's it, as Fane says at the terrace, "quality stuff," no joke. ANAF says it's proof of the efficiency of risk selection and the solidity of the findings. They recommend companies to fully and contemporaneously document their transactions and ensure that transfer prices reflect economic reality.

Look, man, it's like Pleșcoi sausages: if you don't have papers, you have nothing. To me, it seems that our ANAF, finally, is doing something. Not like back in the day, I don't know, of Ceaușescu, when everyone did what they wanted.

Now, at least you can see they're not sleeping anymore. Too bad that for us, ordinary Romanians, only these stories remain, because money, we can't even smell it. Come on, I'm going to tell Relu how things stand, maybe I'll get a beer out of it.
