# Romanian psychology practice — COPSI / CIP / CAS / CASS

Use this skill when the user (or their product AI) asks about practicing psychology in Romania: Colegiul Psihologilor (COPSI/CPR), cabinet individual (CIP), professional registers, cotizație, or taxes (CAS, CASS, impozit, Declarația Unică).

## Hard rules

1. **Not legal/tax advice.** Frame answers as orientation from public sources; for personal amounts, deadlines, or filings, send them to a contabil / COPSI secretariat and the official texts in force.
2. **Always verify year-sensitive numbers** (salariu minim, plafoane CAS/CASS, cotizație, taxe) against the current year before stating a figure. Laws and Consiliu hotărâri change.
3. **Prefer primary sources** over blogs: [copsi.ro](https://copsi.ro), Monitorul Oficial / [legislatie.just.ro](https://legislatie.just.ro), ANAF (Cod fiscal, Declarația Unică), HG 788/2005, Legea 213/2004.
4. **Separate three buckets** in every answer: (A) COPSI professional obligations, (B) ANAF fiscal obligations, (C) optional insurances. Never mix cotizația COPSI with CAS/CASS.
5. If unsure or the site moved, say so and point to where to check — do not invent amounts or procedures.

## How to answer (recipe)

1. Classify the question: membership / forms of practice / registers / cotizație-taxe COPSI / taxes ANAF / documents & notes / something else.
2. Pull the matching section below; if numbers are involved, **re-check** official or reputable current sources for that calendar year.
3. Answer in plain language (Romanian if they wrote in Romanian). Lead with the direct answer, then short steps, then “verify here” links.
4. Offer a worked example only when they gave numbers; label assumptions (year, salariu minim used).
5. End with: what is obligatory vs optional, and when to talk to a contabil or COPSI.

## A. Who regulates what

| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |

| Impozit, CAS, CASS, Declarația Unică, e-Factura, RJIP                                             | ANAF / Cod fiscal                               | https://www.anaf.ro/                             |
| Law of the profession                                                                             | Legea 213/2004 + Norme HG 788/2005              | [legislatie.just.ro](https://legislatie.just.ro) |

Public psychologist lookup: use **official COPSI registers**, not unofficial scrapers. Unofficial sites (e.g. verificapsiholog) may mirror data but are not authoritative.

## B. Form of practice (CIP ≠ PFA ONRC)

* Main independent form: **Cabinet Individual de Psihologie (CIP)** — liberal profession under COPSI atestat, then registration at **ANAF** (not ONRC / Registrul Comerțului).
* Other forms exist (cabinete asociate, societate civilă profesională, salaried roles) — confirm current list on COPSI / Legea 213/2004.
* Fiscal treatment of CIP is largely like **PFA sistem real** (partida simplă), but **norma de venit is not available** for this regulated liberal profession — taxation is on real net income.
* Income category: venituri din profesii liberale.

## C. COPSI professional registers (Hotărârea 3/2013)

Independent practice must keep (models on COPSI):

1. **Registrul de evidență a actelor profesionale (AP)** — reports, avize, evaluations; required on **paper and electronic**.
2. **Registrul de evidență a contractelor de prestări servicii psihologice (CPS)**.
3. **Registrul general de evidență a corespondenței profesionale (CP)**.

Also: parafă, ștampilă formă de exercitare, and (historically) timbre profesionale per the hotărâre — confirm current stamping/label rules on COPSI before advising.

Series are separate from invoice numbering. Archive by year. Some domains (e.g. transport / defence) may add extra institutional register requirements beyond COPSI.

Useful COPSI pages/forms:

* Home / announcements: https://copsi.ro/
* Supervizori registration: https://copsi.ro/index.php/inregistrare-supervizori
* TSA providers: https://copsi.ro/index.php/inregistrare-tsa
* Experți: https://copsi.ro/index.php/inregistrare-expert
* Sample CPS register PDF: https://copsi.ro/images/files/formulare/Registrul_de_evidenta_a_contractelor_de_prestari_servicii_psihologice.pdf
* Dosare anexes: site section **Dosare** (Anexe 1A–… as published by Comitetul director)

## D. Cotizație & taxe COPSI (not CAS/CASS)

* **Cotizație anuală** = membership dues to stay an active member; set by Consiliul Colegiului (Art. 54 Norme / Legea 213 framework). Amount and installment deadlines change — **verify on the member account /** **[copsi.ro](https://copsi.ro)**** for the current year**.
* Reported practice pattern (verify before stating): paid in **two equal installments**; one cotizație per psychologist regardless of how many specialty atestate.
* Non-payment: late majorări; after prolonged arrears, COPSI procedure can lead to **suspension of libera practică** (see Procedura aprobată prin Hotărârea 107/17.12.2024 — identify members >6 months unpaid by 31 July, notify, 15 calendar days to pay, then suspension steps). Acts issued while suspended risk nullity.
* Separate **one-off taxes** for services (atestat dosar, certificat formă de exercitare, modifications, drept de supervizare, reavizări formare, etc.). Historical levels appear in Consiliu hotărâri (e.g. Hotărârea 1/2016 for some service fees; older hotărâri for cotizație/taxe). **Always confirm current fee table before quoting lei amounts.**

## E. ANAF taxes for CIP (sistem real) — conceptual model

Use the **year of income** and that year’s **salariu minim brut** for thresholds. Re-fetch current Cod fiscal / ANAF guidance before giving numbers.

**Net income** = încasări − cheltuieli deductibile (documented on the cabinet).

Typical stack (independent activity / liberal profession rules as commonly applied to CIP):

1. **CASS (sănătate)** — 10% of a base tied to net income, with **min and max multiples of salariu minim** (rules tightened from 2024 onward; max multiple later raised by law — confirm current multiples for the income year).
2. **CAS (pensie)** — 25% of a **chosen base** at the 12- or 24-salarii thresholds when net income crosses those bands; below the first threshold usually optional (voluntary possible).
3. **Impozit pe venit** — 10% of (net − CAS due − CASS due).

**Declarația Unică (formular 212):** for recent years, estimate-in-year filing was simplified — typically **one annual filing and payment by 25 May** for the prior year’s realized income (confirm for the year in question on ANAF). File via **SPV**.

**Accounting:** partida simplă; core book **RJIP** (Registrul Jurnal de Încasări și Plăți). e-Factura / casă de marcat rules depend on B2B vs B2C and current ANAF mandates — verify before advising.

**Common deductible cabinet costs** (only if for the profession + documented): chirie/utilități spațiu, cotizație/taxe COPSI, supervizare, formare continuă, teste/materiale, soft, asigurare răspundere (if held), contabilitate, marketing profesional. No personal expenses.

**Optional (not COPSI dues):** asigurare concediu medical (contrib. voluntară), Pilon III, asigurare răspundere civilă profesională (often expected by partners even if not always legally mandatory).

## F. Product / “automated accounting” feature mapping

When helping build or explain product features for psychologist cabinets, map clearly:

* **Contabilitate / dashboard taxe** → ANAF concepts (RJIP, impozit, CAS, CASS, Declarația Unică) — never call COPSI cotizație “CAS/CASS”.
* **Registre COPSI digitale** → AP / CPS / CP (+ export PDF/Excel, annual archive).
* **Programări** → calendar / public booking — separate from tax registers.
* **Documente shortcodes** → contracts, consents, certificates — may feed CPS / AP numbering.
* **Evidență ședințe / note clinice** → clinical record; “Take notes” templates (SOAP / DAP / BIRP) are clinical documentation aids, not substitutes for AP register entries when an act is issued.
* **Instrumente psihologice** → questionnaires; results often live in client file and may generate AP entries when formal reports are issued.

## G. Source checklist (scrape / refresh before high-stakes answers)

Run through as needed:

1. https://copsi.ro/ — announcements, dosare, register procedures
2. [legislatie.just.ro](https://legislatie.just.ro) — Legea 213/2004, HG 788/2005, hotărâri COPSI publicate în MO (cotizație, taxe, evidență profesională, procedură neplată)
3. ANAF — Declarația Unică, Cod fiscal CAS/CASS for independent activities, e-Factura
4. Secondary explainers (cross-check only): practitioner blogs that cite year + salariu minim (e.g. CIP tax guides) — never sole source for lei figures
