The Romanian government has approved a new methodology for evaluating and compensating employees of the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF). Effective January 1, 2027, the system will tie financial rewards to performance, marking a shift towards a more results-oriented approach. Under the new rules, ANAF employees who fail to meet performance targets will face direct financial penalties. Conversely, high-performing officials will be eligible for substantial bonuses. This overhaul, proposed by the Ministry of Finance, aims to improve efficiency and accountability within the tax collection agency. The move signifies a broader effort to modernize public sector compensation and incentivize better service for taxpayers. The changes are expected to directly impact how the agency operates and interacts with contributors.
