The information technology sector is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the economy. The Republic of Moldova is interested in creating a favorable environment for research, development, and digital innovation. On January 1, 2018, the IT Park began operating in our country – a platform created by the government to increase the attractiveness of IT business for investors and developers.

The platform exists virtually, which allows residents to continue working in their offices anywhere in the country, as before.

Benefits for IT Companies

One of the most important advantages of the IT Park is a simplified tax regime. IT companies registered in the IT Park do not need to pay profit tax, income tax, health insurance contributions, or social security contributions. Instead, they pay a single tax of 7% to the Ministry of Finance on a monthly basis.

This benefit will significantly reduce the tax burden on IT companies and allow them to focus on their core activities, such as increasing the competitiveness of their products, improving working conditions, etc. Companies that want to become residents of the IT Park must consider the following:

  • A company becomes a resident of the park immediately after signing a contract with it, but it switches to the new tax regime from the next month of operation.
  • The amount of tax to be paid cannot be less than one-third of the projected average salary in the Moldovan economy per employee.
  • To maintain residency, it is important that the company carry out one or more of the activities listed in Article 8 of Law 77/2016 on IT Parks. For this purpose, an annual audit is conducted, the results of which are submitted to the park administration. The resident himself chooses the auditor and concludes an agreement with him.

Questions & answers

What people ask before they engage

Do I need a local accounting firm in Moldova?

×

Moldovan law requires accounting records to be maintained in accordance with SNC and all statutory filings to be submitted in Romanian. Practical compliance with accounting services in Moldova demands local expertise: knowledge of Moldovan tax law, the STS filing system, CNAS and CNAM reporting requirements, and the specific formats each authority expects. An international firm working remotely cannot reliably deliver this.

What accounting standards apply to my company in Moldova?

×

Most Moldovan companies prepare accounts under the National Accounting Standards (SNC), which are based on EU directives and are approved by the Ministry of Finance. Public interest entities — banks, insurance companies, and large listed enterprises — must apply IFRS. All other companies may choose to apply IFRS or SNC. We advise on which applies to your company and maintain records accordingly.

Can you take over accounting from our current provider?

×

Yes. Transitions to outsourced accounting in Moldova are something we manage regularly. We review the existing state of your accounts, identify any gaps or compliance issues, and take over from an agreed handover date. The process is structured so nothing is missed and your first month under our management starts clean — regardless of the condition we inherit.

How do you handle communication with the State Tax Service?

×

We represent your company in all routine correspondence — submitting tax reporting declarations in Moldova, responding to standard queries, and obtaining filing confirmations from the STS, CNAS, and CNAM. For formal disputes or investigations, we coordinate directly with our legal team. You don't deal with the authorities on routine matters — that's within scope.

What happens during a tax inspection?

×

Organised, complete documentation is the most effective preparation for any inspection — and we maintain it at all times. In the event of a formal inspection, we support the process: providing documentation across bookkeeping, payroll records, and tax filings, responding to inspector queries, and coordinating with our tax lawyers where the situation requires legal input.

What is included in the monthly management report?

×

Your monthly package typically includes a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, cash flow summary, and a payroll summary — all drawn from the bookkeeping records we maintain for your company in Moldova. We also include a brief note on any regulatory deadlines or compliance matters requiring your attention in the coming period. Format and frequency are agreed at the start of the engagement.
