Nil and Corrective ESPL Returns in Romania

If there are no intra-Community transactions to be reported in a given period, a nil ESPL return is not due.

Also, in case there are errors in an ESPL return, a corrective ESPL must be submitted, indicating that the return is a corrective in the relevant boxes.

The corrective ESPL return must be completed for the corresponding reporting period for which corrections are made. The initially submitted declaration is rectified by submitting a new declaration, on the same format, by ticking the appropriate box on the form (DECLARATIE RECTIFICATIVA). The corrective ESPL return must contain all the information to be reported for the period. The transactions declared in the initial return are rectified and all the fields of the form are filled in with the data valid at the time of submitting the corrective ESPL return, regardless of whether they have been declared before.
