Romania Company Data — ANAF CUI Lookup, VAT & Tax Status

ANAF is the Romanian tax authority, and its VAT-payer service is the authoritative answer on whether a Romanian company exists, is VAT-registered and is in good standing. This actor turns a list of CUIs into full records — name, trade register number, both addresses, VAT history and the inactive-taxpayer flag that says whether you can legally deduct their invoices.

Field	Description
companyName	Registered legal name
registrationNumber	CUI — the fiscal identification code
taxNumber	VAT number (RO + CUI) when VAT-registered
tradeRegisterNumber	Trade register number (J40/…)
status	active, or inactive when ANAF has flagged the taxpayer inactive
statusRaw	ANAF's own registration-state wording

registeredOfficeAddress	Registered office (sediu social), assembled from ANAF's parts
fiscalAddress	Fiscal domicile where it differs
city	Locality
postalCode	Postcode
phone	Registered phone

vatPeriods	Every VAT registration period with start and end dates
vatOnCollection	Whether the company uses cash-basis VAT (TVA la încasare)

inactivatedOn	Date declared inactive
reactivatedOn	Date reactivated
struckOffOn	Date struck off the register

Every row also carries query (what you asked for), scrapedAt (ISO timestamp) and, when a lookup fails, error explaining why.

Input

{
  "queries": ["14399840","8971726","RO1590082"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 1,
  "maxConcurrency": 1,
  "includeRaw": false
}

Input	What it does
queries	Romanian fiscal codes (14399840, RO1590082). ANAF has no name search — CUIs only.
maxResultsPerQuery	Caps how many rows one query may produce.
maxConcurrency	How many queries run at once. Lower it if the source starts throttling.
includeRaw	Attaches the source's untouched record under raw, for fields this actor does not map.
requestDelayMs	Politeness delay between requests.
proxyConfiguration	Optional. ANAF answers datacenter IPs, but it rate-limits by IP on large runs.

What people use it for

• Invoice compliance — an invoice from an inactive taxpayer is not deductible in Romania. isInactive is the field that decides it.
• VAT validation at scale — check a whole supplier list's VAT registration and cash-VAT status in one run.
• Counterparty onboarding — confirm the legal name and trade register number before signing.

Notes and limits

• ANAF batches up to 100 CUIs per request, and this actor uses that: a 500-company run costs five requests, not five hundred.
• There is no name search. If you only have a company name, resolve the CUI first — the EU VIES lookup or the trade register will give it to you.
• ANAF rate-limits by IP. The defaults are one request at a time with a short delay; turn the proxy on for very large lists.

FAQ

Is this Romania ANAF scraper free?

The data source is free and needs no API key — you pay only for the rows the run delivers ($0.004 each). Failed or empty lookups are never charged.

Do I need an API key or a login?

No. ANAF publishes the taxpayer register as a documented open REST service with no key.

What can I search by?

By CUI only — the Romanian fiscal identification code, with or without the RO prefix. ANAF does not expose a name search, so a company name will not resolve; get the CUI from an invoice, the trade register or a VIES lookup first.

How current is the data?

Every run queries the source live, so results are as fresh as the source itself. ANAF's register is the live tax record; VAT status changes appear the day they take effect.

How fast is it, and how many queries can I run?

Queries run concurrently (1 at a time by default, tunable in the input). A prefilled run finishes in seconds; large lists scale roughly linearly and stay well inside a normal run timeout.

Can I export the results to CSV, Excel or JSON?

Yes. Apify datasets export to CSV, Excel, JSON, XML and HTML, and can be pulled through the API or pushed to your own storage.

What happens when a query returns nothing?

You still get a row, carrying your original query and an error field explaining why. Nothing is silently dropped, and you are not charged for it.

Is scraping this data legal?

Yes. ANAF publishes the VAT-payer register precisely so businesses can verify counterparties before invoicing them — it is a statutory transparency service.
