By using the company's services, I learned that starting a business isn't so difficult when you have someone to guide you. I had a great experience, and the result was worth it!

I need to improve my English! I can only get by halfway with my broken English... The GO EU team is super friendly and helpful. One star deducted because they don't have enough German-speaking tax advisors.

I've had bad experiences with an offshore company before. I'll give this one another try. The contact seems quite professional and competent – ​​so far. I'll keep you posted...

Daily regulatory hurdles, cease-and-desist letters, customer threats, and excessively high return rates in Germany almost forced me to close my business. The 1% model saves me a fortune in taxes, makes me significantly more profitable, significantly reduces return rates, eliminates cease-and-desist letters, and removes all the business-unfriendly harassment.

Where can I speak with one of your consultants? I'd like to see the prices and discuss the advantages. Is it better than having a company in Dubai?

Greetings to the GO EU team! Implementation was quick and easy. The accounting is world-class; I was able to submit all invoices. Thank you!

1st Mistake: No legal company address

A lot of international entrepreneurs utilize virtual offices without verifying that they meet Romanian Commercial Register requirements. When the authorities then deem these addresses incorrect during verification, this creates issues.

The basic norm in Romania is that, unlike in Western countries, adding a name to a mailbox does not activate the address.

The exact reverse is true: A legal evaluation of a company's registered office is necessary must make sure it can survive the tax authorities examination. It should also provide sufficient proof, which means a lease agreement with the rental space's paperwork should be created.

Recommendation: Since our company's offices are right next to a law practice, correspondence may be answered and translated very away. This is a component of our original service.

2nd Mistake: No remote notary appointments are scheduled

Regardless of the nation, a notarial deed is typically necessary when establishing a business, particularly for corporations like limited liability companies.

Regarding the subsequent procedures: 1. Registering a business, 2. Applying for a VAT ID number, and 3. Authorizing a tax counselor who has been approved by the state, a In every instance, a notary appointment is necessary!

Typically, doing so remotely entails hiring an interpreter from the Romanian embassy, scheduling a fresh notary appointment in the hometown each time, and having an apostille affixed at the district court.

Apostille and online notarization is an integral a component of our business establishment.

3rd Mistake: No trustworthy tax consultants

As mentioned earlier, applying for a VAT ID number requires a further appointment with a notary to register it.

Once the company is founded and the appropriate accountant for tax support has been chosen, it's the same story again: I must have been appointed by a notary to be your tax advisor for your company. And then, in the next step, you'll hear from your Romanian accountant again:

"I need to apply for your company's VAT ID number now. Can you come to Romania to see a notary? And then quickly go to your local notary at home?"

Recommendation: Apply for a VAT ID number during incorporation via a second digital notary appointment and also authorize the tax advisor remotely, without travel, via an online notary's office.



4th Mistake: No proper overview of taxes

Romania has some of the lowest tax rates in Europe. However, the Romanian government adjusts them annually. So what's the current rate? Is it still worth living in Romania?.

The tax rate for micro-enterprises remains at 1-3% of revenue. This remains unchanged! However, the threshold and the dividend tax have been adjusted a few times.

Nevertheless, Romania is very attractive with an income tax rate of only 10%.

➜ In conjunction with a US LLC and a Romania setup, the overall tax burden can be further reduced. (Subject to compliance with and implementation of certain regulations, like type comparison)



5th Mistake: No assistance from actual professionals

Creating a bank account, keeping books, submitting yearly financial statements and balance sheets, requesting a tax identification number, VAT ID, postal translation, and forwarding.

All of them are common duties that, in some situations, take place annually.

➜The points mentioned above are part of our formation concept. Also live assistance from our accountants and tax specialists is included.



6th Mistake: No access to funding

Access to funding in Romania presents a significant opportunity for companies, founders and agricultural businesses to realize investments, innovations and growth.

Particularly in the context of EU funding policies, Romania offers numerous programs that include non-repayable grants and tax breaks.

➜ The points mentioned above are part of our formation concept.



7th Mistake: No access to trained personnel (especially IT)

Romania has a thriving IT sector and is frequently chosen as a location for IT outsourcing. Many Romanian IT experts work in software development, IT consulting, and technical support.

The Romanian education system regularly produces highly qualified specialists, especially in the fields of mathematics and computer science.

➜ The points mentioned above are part of our formation concept.



Mistakes Summary

Nearly the same amount of people ask us, "We already have a company in Romania!" Are you unable to assist? Although it's difficult to locate qualified tax advisors anywhere, Romanians have a somewhat different mindset. Since many transactions are still completed by hand, diligent accountants sometimes have to increase their fees substantially in order to attract new customers.

Feedback from our clients:

Managing Director

Hendrik Mati

Dating Coach (hendrikmati.com)

Hendrik's coaching expenses are minimal

Challenge

As a dating coach, Hendrik had relatively low costs and a very high tax burden in Austria.

Goal

Significant tax savings in spite of large profit margins, no matter where you are or how near you are to consumers.

Final solution

Hendrik fulfills his aim of becoming a digital nomad by traveling more than 20 times a year with his customers as a relationship coach. His Romanian business first made it possible for his clients to accept payments throughout the EU using an IBAN account, followed by his US LLC.!

Managing Director

Jennifer Fischer

Slim Shape

High burden in online retail

Challenge

In Germany, Jennifer was subject to a 50% tax rate, and all clients were subject to additional VAT.

Goal

Jennifer wanted to be free from VAT for business clients and lower her tax burden..

Final solution

With her Romanian business, Jennifer's overall tax liability is little more than 10%. Because of the reverse charge process, business clients are exempt from VAT.

Managing Director

Julia Richter

Tax Consultant

Almost no earnings are left after taxes

?
Challenge

VAT is included in the consultation costs for final customers. Only €40 of €100 is left after subtracting 19% VAT and additional 50% tax.

Goal

Consulting must be profitable. I worked as a consultant for the German government for eight months prior to entering the employment, but that position was no longer viable!

Final solution

When I work as a consultant for my Romanian firm, I keep more than 90% of the invoice amount.
