SAF-T › D406 checks beyond ANAF

VAT rate does not match the tax code

How it shows in our report

SAFT-TAX-02 · TaxTable/TaxCode 310344 · corect: 21 (acum 19)

What it means

Every tax code has a rate (e.g. 310344 = 21%). The reported TaxPercentage must be that rate.

Why it matters

ANAF uses D406 for risk analysis and compares it with the VAT return (D300) and D394. Mismatches like this do not block filing, but can lead to compliance letters or requests for clarification.

Common causes

• A new code (21%) with the old rate (19%) or the other way round.
• The rate written as a fraction (0.21).

How to fix it

1. Use the code–rate pair from the nomenclature.
