Invoices for clients outside Romania

Invoices issued to clients outside Romania do NOT need to be uploaded to SPV via the RO e-Factura system. They are declared only for VAT purposes, in the periodic tax returns.

Invoices containing a tax ID from outside the country and international addresses are not accepted for upload to SPV.

The "Buyer has no address set" error

This error appears because the client's address is incomplete. Note the distinction:

  • Client in Romania: edit the client's profile and add the complete address — street, city, county, country. For company clients, make sure both the billing and delivery addresses are set (if you add a single address, it automatically serves as both). After correcting, reload the invoice to SPV.

  • Client outside Romania: the international address cannot be entered, and the invoice does not need to be uploaded to SPV. The error does not apply to this case — the invoice is declared only in the VAT return.

The same applies in reverse: invoices received from suppliers outside Romania

The rule works both ways. S.P.V. only receives invoices issued by companies that are fiscally registered in Romania, so invoices you receive from a supplier in another country will not appear in S.P.V. and cannot be downloaded from there, including by using the “Download invoices from S.P.V.” button in the Costs menu.

An invoice from a foreign supplier must be entered manually from the Costs menu, using the “+” button, with the amounts converted into RON using the exchange rate applicable on the invoice issue date. The complete steps are described in the “Adding invoices in Costs” article, in the “Invoices from foreign suppliers and invoices in foreign currency (EUR)” section.
