PwC is viewed by some of the market as the strongest tax firm in Romania. However, while the practice attracts comments such as: "PwC is the leader. It has always been the leader since the collapse of Andersen," and "They are definitely number one in terms of reputation", there were not enough to put them in their own tier above Deloitte and Ernst & Young.
The practice is led by Peter de Ruiter, who has experience of working in both the Netherlands and Poland. He leads a team of more than 200 practitioners, the largest of all firms in Romania.
The practice is structured across four main areas of tax: corporate tax, which includes everything from tax structuring and planning to M&A; indirect tax, mostly VAT but also customs; individual income tax and human resources services which includes human resources management and payroll processing; and legal services, through their correspondent law firm, D&B David Si Baias, where the team is led by Sorin David.
A number of the professionals are picked out as leading practitioners. Mihaela Mitroi is singled out for corporate tax and cross-border structuring and is described as a "big name in the market". Ionut Simion is also mentioned for corporate tax and cross-border structuring as well as transfer pricing, while Diana Coroaba and Mihaela Craciun are mentioned for M&A and cross-border structuring respectively.
The practice advises clients across all industries but particularly consumer and industrial products, information technology, communications and entertainment, pharmaceutical sector, oil & gas and energy companies, and financial services.
