How we work
From two numbers to money in the account — in four steps
01
Free analysis within 24 hours
You send us the number of vehicles and the approximate litres per month. We tell you in writing whether you qualify and how much you can claim.
02
We build the dossier
The per-vehicle summary sheet, the required declarations, the invoices and the card contracts — checked document by document.
03
We file with A.R.R.
We upload the dossier to your company's profile on the compensareacciza.arr.ro portal, where you can review it, and file the claim inside the quarter's window.
04
We follow it to payment
A.R.R. decides within 30 working days. We track the decision and the payment of the compensation into your Treasury account.
On the first claim we also walk you through opening the Treasury account (50.70) and the A.R.R. portal account — both one-off; the following quarters run by themselves. You keep the same contact person from the first conversation to the payment.

FAQ
The questions we get most often
Who can claim the excise compensation?
Road freight operators with vehicles of at least 7.5 tonnes and passenger operators with M2 or M3 vehicles, holding a community licence issued in Romania. Local public transport is excluded. The full conditions are the seven above (art. 6 of Government Decision 1,094/2025).
Why are cash fills not eligible?
Because the decision requires the diesel to be bought with a fleet card, a transmitter ring or your own electronic dispenser — instruments that tie every fill to a specific vehicle. It is the condition that rules out most companies, and the first thing we check in the analysis.
How much do I actually get?
The current rate is 0.85 lei per litre of diesel bought in Romania. At a typical 3,500 litres per month, a single truck is worth roughly 2,975 lei a month, or 8,925 lei a quarter. The calculator above does the arithmetic on your fleet's numbers.
What happens if I miss the claim window?
That quarter's money is lost for good. Claims can only be filed in the first 30 calendar days of the following quarter, and a closed window never reopens. That is why we watch the calendar and warn you in advance.
What documents do I need to prepare?
The contracts with your fuel card suppliers, the diesel invoices, the community licence and the declarations the decision requires. We draw up the per-vehicle summary sheet ourselves. On later claims, documents that have not changed are not filed again.
What does the service cost?
The eligibility analysis is free and commits you to nothing. The service fee is set on your numbers and comes to you in the offer, after the analysis.
How soon is the money paid?
A.R.R. decides within 30 working days of filing, and the compensation is paid into your Treasury account. If the company has outstanding tax debts, A.N.A.F. may offset the approved amounts against them.
The free analysis
How many lei does your fleet leave with the state every quarter?
