Why Moldova?
Moldova combines EU-candidate status with CIS-competitive pricing, creating a unique dual-market jurisdiction.
IT Park 7% Unified Tax
Moldova’s IT Park regime replaces all taxes (CIT, payroll, social contributions, VAT, local taxes, dividends) with a single 7% turnover tax. Valid until at least 2035. One of Europe’s best IT tax regimes.
EU Candidate Country
Moldova is an EU candidate with target accession by 2030. Supported by a €1.9 billion EU Growth Plan, the country is aligning regulations, infrastructure, and digital systems with EU standards.
12% Corporate Tax
Standard CIT rate of 12% — among the lowest in Europe. SMEs not registered for VAT can opt for a simplified 4% regime. Farming enterprises pay just 7%.
47 Free Trade Agreements
Access to both EU and CIS markets through extensive trade agreements, giving companies an entryway to over 800 million consumers across Europe and Eurasia.
Six Free Economic Zones
FEZs offer 50% CIT reduction on exports, 3–5 year CIT exemption for major investors, VAT-free imports, and customs duty relief. Lear Corporation and Dräxlmaier already operate from Moldovan FEZs.
24-Hour Digital Registration
Over 65% of public business services are digitized. Company registration can be completed online within 24 hours using an e-signature through the Public Services Agency.
