Legal tax optimization: 6 levers you already have at hand

"Tax optimization" sounds like something at the edge of the law. In reality, it just means using correctly the rules the state already gives you. Here are the main levers.

1. Choose the right tax regime

The biggest saving comes from the first decision: LLC on the general regime, micro-enterprise or sole proprietorship. The difference can be thousands of lei a year. Compare it before registering the company, not after.

2. Check whether you qualify for IT Park

If you have eligible IT activity, the 7% single tax on sales can be far more advantageous than the classic regime. It's not for everyone, but it's worth analyzing seriously.

3. Deduct everything deductible

Many firms lose money because they don't record real, justified expenses: subscriptions, equipment, transport, training. Every properly documented deductible expense reduces your taxable base.

4. Balance salary and dividends

How you take money out of the company (salary, dividends, or a mix) has a different tax effect. There's no universal answer — it depends on the numbers. A simple calculation shows you the optimal option.

5. Plan investments and depreciation

When you make an investment and how you depreciate it affect your tax over several years. With a little planning, you avoid paying today for what you could have spread over a few years.

6. Meet the deadlines

The most expensive negative "optimization" is the penalty. Declarations filed on time and obligations paid correctly are the foundation — the rest builds on top.

Real optimization isn't a trick, but a series of small decisions made knowingly. If you want to see what applies in your case, the first consultation is free — we'll tell you clearly where you're overpaying and what you can change.
