Authorization procedure and Trade Register aspects for CAEN 9810
Class CAEN 9810 is a special category, as it refers to activities of private households producing goods for own consumption. In practice, individuals producing goods for own consumption are not required to register with the Trade Register (ONRC) or obtain a tax registration certificate from the Tax Authority (ANAF), except when production exceeds own needs and is marketed. For marketing, it is required to register an appropriate legal form (PFA, LLC, II) and declare the main activity corresponding to CAEN 9810. Registration with the Trade Register involves submitting the registration application, identity documents, a sworn declaration under Law 359/2004 on fulfillment of operating conditions, and notarized signature. The processing time is 1-3 working days, and the registration fee varies depending on the legal form, averaging 200-400 RON.
Regulatory framework, specific endorsements and control institutions
The activity of producing goods for own consumption is regulated by sanitary and environmental standards, depending on the nature of the goods produced (food, textiles, etc.). For food production, sanitary veterinary and food safety registration with DSVSA or the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority is required. Also, to comply with environmental regulations, the household must adhere to the provisions of Government Emergency Ordinance 195/2005 on environmental protection, and waste management must comply with Law 211/2011. Control institutions include ANAF (for taxation), the National Environmental Guard (for environmental compliance), and the Public Health Directorate (for hygiene and public health).
Fiscal management, ANAF audit risk and specific accounting
From a fiscal perspective, income obtained from producing goods for own consumption is not taxable as long as the goods are not marketed. If sales occur, they must be declared as income from independent activities, with the obligation to register with ANAF for the fiscal vector, issue invoices according to the RO e-Factura system, and submit the single declaration (Form 212). ANAF audit risk: failure to declare income from the sale of production surplus may lead to fiscal reclassification, penalties of 0.08% per day, and fines up to 10,000 RON. Specific accounting consists of simplified single-entry bookkeeping for sole proprietorships, completing the Register of Receipts and Payments (Journal of Income and Expenses). Fiscal obligations include income tax (10%) and social contributions (CAS and CASS), calculated on the tax base established according to the norms of the Fiscal Code (Law 227/2015, Title IV). Recommendation: consult a certified accountant for tax optimization and to avoid ANAF audit risks.
