Moldova IT Park Setup & Support
Moldova IT Park is one of Eastern Europe’s most compelling tax regimes for technology companies. A single 7% tax on turnover replaces corporate income tax, personal income tax on salaries, social and medical contributions, and local taxes. We handle your registration from eligibility assessment through post-residency compliance.
BULR is a private legal and business advisory firm. We do not represent any government authority or issue official government documents.

The tax regime that changed everyting
Moldova IT Park is a virtual tax regime, the first of its kind in Europe, created by the government in 2018 to support and scale the country’s technology sector. Companies that qualify operate from their own offices anywhere in the country and pay a single IT Park tax of 7% on turnover. That one payment replaces corporate income tax, personal income tax on employee salaries, mandatory social and medical insurance contributions, local taxes, and road tax. Everything consolidated into a single monthly declaration.
The government has extended the IT Park’s operational term to 2037, with its state-backed tax guarantee locked in through 2035. This is a long-term fiscal framework designed to make Moldova one of the most competitive jurisdictions in the region for technology companies.
Our legal and tax advisory teams have worked with IT companies at every stage of the residency process, from first eligibility check to ongoing compliance. We know what the administration expects, how the application is assessed, and where companies run into trouble after registration. When you work with us, you are not learning the process alongside your advisor. You are working with people who have done this many times before.
How to register in Moldova IT Park — step by step
Five stages. Each one managed end-to-end by our team. You make the business decisions. We handle the documentation, the filings, and every interaction with the IT Park Administration and the Public Services Agency (ASP).
Compliance Check & Activity Mapping
We assess whether your company meets the legal criteria for IT Park residency under Law 77/2016 and identify any gaps before you invest time in the application.
Registration or Restructuring
Whether you need to register a new Moldovan entity or amend your existing company’s articles of association or activity codes to meet IT Park criteria, we handle it.
IT Park Residency Application
We compile the full application package: business plan, activity description, financial projections, and every mandatory document the IT Park Administration requires. The application is submitted through the official platform, and we handle any follow-up queries or requests for additional information.
Day 5-10
Resident Status Confirmed
Once approved, your company becomes an IT Park resident and signs its residency contract. The 7% single tax regime takes effect from the following calendar month. We walk you through the tax transition, explain what changes in your monthly obligations, and make sure your accounting and payroll systems are ready for the new regime from day one.
Compliance, Audit & Operations
Residency is not a one-time event. IT Park residents must pass an annual audit confirming that their activities still qualify and that the single tax has been calculated correctly. We advise on ongoing compliance, connect you with accredited auditors, handle your monthly payroll and accounting under the IT Park regime, and flag any issues before they become problems.

What people ask before they apply
What Exactly Does the 7% Single Tax Cover??
The single 7% tax on turnover replaces corporate income tax, personal income tax on employee salaries, mandatory social security contributions, medical insurance contributions, local taxes, real estate tax, and the road usage tax. You file a single monthly declaration. Employee salaries, bonuses, and premiums are not taxed separately. Social benefits like pensions, sick leave, and maternity pay are calculated based on 68% of the national average salary, regardless of what you actually pay your team. It is one of the most consolidated fiscal regimes anywhere in the region.
What Activities Qualify for Moldova IT Park Residency?
The full list is defined in Article 8 of Law 77/2016, but the most common qualifying activities include custom software development, IT consulting, data processing and hosting, web portal operations, R&D in natural sciences and engineering, computer-related education, and specialised design services (3D, CAD, rendering). Call-centre and dispatch services for export markets also qualify. The critical threshold: at least 70% of your company’s revenue must come from one or more of these eligible activities.
Can a Foreign Company Join Moldova IT Park?
Yes, but the company must be a legal entity registered in the Republic of Moldova. Foreign founders typically incorporate a Moldovan LLC, which requires a minimum share capital of just 1 MDL and allows 100% foreign ownership. There are no nationality restrictions. International companies from over 44 countries are already operating as IT Park residents. BULR handles the full chain: entity registration, IT Park applicati on, bank account, and ongoing compliance. The process can be managed entirely remotely.
Do IT Park Residents Need to Register for VAT?
VAT registration becomes mandatory when a company’s taxable turnover exceeds MDL 1.7 million over any consecutive 12-month period, regardless of IT Park status. For companies exporting IT services, a VAT exemption with the right of deduction applies, and accumulated input VAT on domestic purchases can be refunded within 45 calendar days. We advise on VAT positioning as part of every IT Park setup.
What Happens if My Company Loses IT Park Residency?
If your company’s eligible revenue drops below the 70% threshold, or if the annual audit reveals non-compliance, the IT Park Administration can terminate your residency contract. At that point, you revert to the standard Moldovan tax regime. This is exactly why ongoing compliance matters. BULR monitors your activity codes, revenue composition, and audit requirements throughout the year so that you stay within the rules and nothing catches you off guard.
Can BULR Handle Both Legal and Accounting After We Register?
Yes and the difference is structural, not just convenient. Accounting decisions begin at registration: simplified vs. standard accounting, VAT position, how founder contributions and dividends are structured. When your lawyer and accountant sit in the same firm, those decisions are made together from day one. BULR covers legal, accounting, tax advisory, and ongoing compliance under one engagement — one contact, one file, one team that knows your structure end to end.
