The UK and Romania signed a new double taxation convention, and it takes effect now

The convention that governed UK-Romania double taxation for fifty years has been replaced. The new Convention was signed in London on 13 November 2024 and entered into force on 23 December 2025. It takes effect:

• in the UK — 1 April 2026 for Corporation Tax, and 6 April 2026 for Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax;
• in Romania — 1 January 2026 for other taxes.

The 1975 Convention is now listed by HMRC as not in force. Source: GOV.UK, Romania: tax treaties.

This matters if you are a Romanian national living in the UK with income, property or a company in Romania — or a Romanian company with a UK subsidiary. The treatment of dividends, interest, royalties, pensions and gains on property-rich shares all sit inside this convention, and several of them changed. We are not going to publish a table of rates here that we have not checked line by line against the treaty text; what we will do is read the relevant articles against your actual position and tell you what changed for you specifically.

Two more things we are asked constantly

CIS — the Construction Industry Scheme for subcontractors

If you work as a subcontractor in UK construction, your contractor deducts money from your payments before you receive them and passes it to HMRC. Whether the rate applied to you is correct depends on your CIS registration status, and whether you are owed a repayment depends on your allowable costs. Many subcontractors are owed money and never claim it.

Running a UK company while your family stays in Romania

This is an ordinary arrangement and it is entirely lawful, but it raises real questions: where you are tax resident, where the company is managed and controlled, whether you have a permanent establishment anywhere, and how the new convention treats what you draw out. Generic "non-resident director" guidance does not answer it, because your situation is not that of a director who has emigrated.

How we work

TaxDigit works remotely with clients across the whole UK from its Guildford head office — video meetings at a time that suits you, documents exchanged securely online, and a named point of contact rather than a call centre. Fees are agreed in advance.

Communication is in English, supported by professional Romanian translation. We are explicit about this because it matters: TaxDigit is a UK-regulated firm giving UK advice. We are not registered with CECCAR and we do not use the titles expert contabil or contabil autorizat, nor are we members of the Camera Consultantilor Fiscali. We do not give Romanian domestic tax advice. Where you need Romanian-side advice, we work alongside your adviser in Romania.
