Attention to the CNP its use by traders may be illegal

the invoice to a natural person does NOT need to contain CNP - according to the Fiscal Code , art 319, paragraph 20 consequently, a merchant does not need the CNP of natural persons buyers because the law would require it you can get the CNP of a natural person when they buy from your online store, if you want, but you can use it (including for the invoice) only with the express consent of the respective person, according to Law 677/2001 , article 8. So you don't understand anything and still don't know how to proceed?  If you've been an online trader for a while, you're probably used to the unclear legislation and the constant threat of a fine, so it wouldn't be anything new. Here is what we recommend: find out, by discussing with your accountant, whether the invoices for individuals must contain CNP or not , from the point of view of ANAF. I recommend talking to other accountants, but be prepared to find out contradictory information.



if the invoices to the PF do not have to contain the CNP, it means that you do not have to collect the CNP when completing the order, so you should remove the CNP field if you already ask for it if you prefer to collect the CNP (with the risk of having a lower conversion rate), make sure that the Terms and Conditions page of your website mentions the fact that you will use the buyer's CNP for invoicing. And below, our Phone Number Data original article from 2011, which says about the same thing. If a website asks for CNP or series and bulletin number, it seems that Romanian law does not allow this. The obligation to request this data was removed from the law a few years ago.Here's why: Law no. 677/2001 says: Art. 8. – (1) The processing of the personal numerical code or other personal data having an identification function of general applicability can only be carried out if: a) the person concerned has expressly given his consent; or b) the processing is expressly stipulated by a legal provision.



In free translation, the request for these data is not necessary and these data are not required by any law. Nor does the Fiscal Code mention the necessity of the series and number of the beneficiary's bulletin, but only: f) the name and address of the beneficiary of the goods or services, as well as the registration code for VAT purposes or the fiscal identification code of the beneficiary, if he is a taxable person or a non-taxable legal entity; (Art. 155) However, when you ask for an invoice for the company, in any hypermarket, you are asked: series and no. bulletin and the issuer At the moment, most online stores in Romania do not require series, bulletin number or CNP. It would be imprudent: most potential buyers would rather abandon the purchase than give their CNP to a site.
