I am contemplating buying a vacation home in Transylvania and eventually, either retiring permanently, or just spending the summers there; haven't decided yet, I have another 5-6 years to decide. Do the Romanian laws allows the Government to tax my retirement income? I will be paying income taxes in the US and wonder if am being exposed to double taxation of my income which will be mainly 401k, Social Security and investment dividends. Also, how are the property taxes calculated? Anyone with knowledge of these issues is welcome to comment. Thank you kindly.
