Other personal services n.e.c.

EU NACE Equivalent: NACE Rev. 3 — 9699

This code covers a wide range of personal services not classified elsewhere, from body care services (such as tattoos, piercing, non-therapeutic massage) to private event organization services, pet-sitting services, or personal goods rental activities (e.g., costumes, musical instruments). Essentially, it is the code for any service activity provided to individuals that does not fall under more specific CAEN codes.

Entrepreneur Profile

Acest cod este potrivit pentru freelanceri sau SRL-uri care oferă servicii personalizate direct către clienți, cum ar fi artiști tatuatori, organizatori de evenimente private, pet-sitteri, maseuri non-terapeutici, consultanți în astrologie sau închiriatori de bunuri personale. Este ideal pentru afaceri mici, cu activități diverse, care nu se încadrează în coduri mai specifice.

Who should avoid:

Avoid the exclusive use of code 9699 if the main activity of your company shifts towards other commercial or related branches not specified in the official description. See the excluded activities section below.

Authorization procedure and Trade Register aspects for CAEN 9699

When establishing a company that carries out activities classified under CAEN 9699, a sworn statement must be submitted pursuant to Law 359/2004, certifying compliance with the legal operating conditions. The Trade Register (ONRC) does not require special prior endorsements for this class, but if the activity also involves related service provision (e.g., event organization or recreational activities), it is recommended to check secondary CAEN codes. For authorized natural persons (PFA) or individual enterprises, the sworn statement must be completed at the Tax Authority (ANAF) and registration with the Trade Register must be requested if the legal form of an SRL is chosen. The operating permit is obtained based on the constitutive act and identification documents, without requiring a prior market study requested by ONRC.

Regulatory framework, specific endorsements, and control institutions

Activities under CAEN 9699 include various services such as fitness rooms, tanning centers, party and ceremony services, repair services for personal items, etc. Depending on the specifics, endorsements may be required from the Public Health Directorate (DSP) for premises with public access, ISU endorsements regarding fire safety, and if food is handled (e.g., in catering parties), sanitary-veterinary registration with DSVSA is required. Also, for spa or cosmetology activities, an operating license from the Ministry of Health and qualified personnel according to applicable regulations are necessary. Current control is exercised by ANAF for fiscal matters, by ITM for labor relations, and by the Local Police for compliance with public order norms.

Fiscal management, ANAF audit risk, and specific accounting

From a fiscal perspective, CAEN 9699 falls under the Fiscal Code, and income is declared via the sworn statement for PFA or through periodic declarations for SRL. It is mandatory to issue invoices through the RO e-Factura system for transactions with legal entities, and for cash receipts from individuals, the use of a cash register connected to ANAF is recommended. The risk of an ANAF audit exists especially when discrepancies are found between declared income and income estimated based on fiscal receipts or invoices. In accounting, expenses for consumables, rent, qualified staff salaries, and equipment depreciation must be recorded separately in analytical accounts. VAT is applied upon collection (VAT at collection) if the turnover is below the threshold of 300,000 lei, but registration as a VAT payer is recommended to deduct related expenses. Obligations regarding the fiscal vector include income tax (16% for SRL or 10% for PFA in the real system) and social contributions. To avoid penalties, the sworn statement must be submitted by May 25 of the following year and taxes and contributions must be paid on time.

Întrebări Frecvente

What authorizations are needed to carry out tattooing and piercing activities under CAEN code 9699?

For tattooing and piercing, a sanitary operating permit from the Public Health Directorate (DSP) and compliance with hygiene standards (sterilization, disposable materials) are required. You must also register with the Trade Register and obtain CAEN code 9699. No special authorization from ANSVSA is necessary, but DSP carries out periodic inspections.

Can I carry out relaxation massage activities under this code without needing medical studies?

Yes, relaxation massage (non-therapeutic) does not require medical studies. However, it is recommended to have a certificate of completion of a recognized massage course. If you offer therapeutic (medical) massage, you need CAEN code 8690 (other human health activities) and a professional practice authorization.
