Romanian tax agency orders Constanța port operator to distribute dividends amid legal dispute Romania’s National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) has ordered the state-controlled National Company for the Administration of Maritime Ports of Constanța (CNAPM) to distribute dividends worth RON 87.3 million from profits recorded in 2023 and 2024, along with late payment interest of RON 7.1 million, bringing the total claim to RON 94.4 million (EUR 18 million), Profit.ro reported. The move has triggered a legal dispute, with the port operator challenging the decision in court. ANAF based its demand on legislation requiring state-owned companies to distribute at least 90% of their net profits as dividends to shareholders, primarily the Romanian state, which holds an 80% stake in CNAPM.
