Moldova has emerged as a premier destination for international entrepreneurs, combining aggressive fiscal incentives with a flexible regulatory environment that prioritises digital-first business. As a professional legal consultancy, Incorpore provides the structural framework necessary for founders to leverage these advantages without the burden of local bureaucracy.
The appeal of Moldova extends beyond simple tax savings. The jurisdiction offers a unique legal position that balances global connectivity with local autonomy.
Non-EU Member Independence: As Moldova is not yet a member of the European Union, businesses operate under a flexible legal framework that avoids the density of certain EU-wide mandates. This provides reduced bureaucratic overhead and streamlined compliance for international operations.

Geographic Connectivity: Positioned between the European Union and the CIS markets, Moldova serves as a strategic bridge for cross-border trade and service provision.
Full SEPA Connection: As of October 6, 2025, Moldova is officially part of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). This historic milestone allows Moldovan companies to execute Euro transfers across 36 participating countries under the same conditions, security, and low costs as domestic EU payments.
Moldova is a pioneer in digital-first business. The “IT Visa” program is specifically designed for the modern workforce, allowing expatriate managers and specialists to obtain residency for up to four years. While Moldova does not have a formal “e-Residency” program, our firm facilitates 100% remote management through Power of Attorney and digital signature protocols.
The IT sector has officially become a strategic pillar of the national economy. In 2025, the total turnover of resident companies within the Moldova Innovation Technology Park (MITP) surpassed the record-breaking $1 billion (USD) threshold.
Massive Growth: This figure represents a 24.3% increase from 2024 and a 10-fold growth since the park’s inception in 2018.
Economic Impact: The sector now contributes approximately 6.3% of Moldova’s GDP, with IT services accounting for over 25% of the country’s total service exports.
Global Relevance: 88.5% of the sector’s sales are export-driven, demonstrating that Moldovan digital products are highly competitive on the global stage.
Moldova’s tax regime is one of the most competitive in Europe, designed to incentivise capital retention and innovation.
| Category | Applicable Tax Rate | Key Advantage |
| IT Park (MITP) | 7% of Turnover | Replaces CIT, social security, and health insurance. |
| Standard Corporate | 12% | 0% rate applicable on all reinvested profits. |
| Industrial Entities | 6% | Reduced rate for specific manufacturing sectors. |
| Dividends | 6% | Competitive rate for resident and non-resident shareholders. |
The Moldova Innovation Technology Park (MITP) is Europe’s first e-park, providing a virtual community where a single 7% tax covers nearly all corporate-level obligations. Further details on the legal framework are available on the official MITP website.
Our legal team assists in the selection and registration of the most efficient legal entity for your business goals. While the Limited Liability Company (SRL) is the most common choice for international founders, several other structures are available:
Joint Stock Companies (SA)
Individual Enterprises
General and Limited Partnerships
Subsidiaries, Branches, or Representative Offices
The Incorpore Speed Guarantee: Once your documentation is pre-vetted and the governmental fees are settled, our legal team utilises the expedited track to ensure your company is officially registered within 24 hours.
Post-incorporation, every Moldovan entity must maintain rigorous accounting standards and file annual financial statements. We ensure your business remains in full standing with the State Tax Service of Moldova.
“Our fiduciary role is to manage the legal complexity and banking intermediation, allowing you to focus entirely on your commercial growth.”
Pro tip: Ensure you consider the reinvestment model early in your fiscal year; by reinvesting earnings, many of our clients effectively maintain a 0% Corporate Income Tax (CIT) liability.
Can I manage my company entirely from abroad?
Yes. We act as your local legal representatives. Through a Power of Attorney, we handle the registration and state filings while you remain in your home country.
How many times must I visit Moldova?
A physical visit is generally required only once. While we manage the company formation and bank pre-approvals remotely, Moldovan banks require the beneficial owner to sign the final account opening documents in person.
What is the benefit of the 0% reinvestment tax?
Under Moldovan law, corporate income tax (12%) is only triggered when dividends are paid. If you keep the profits within the company for expansion or investment, the effective tax rate is zero.
Is the 7% IT Park tax applicable to employees?
Yes. The 7% unified tax paid by the company covers the social and medical contributions for your employees, making it a highly attractive model for talent acquisition.
What are the requirements for an IT Visa?
The program is open to specialists and managers of companies registered within the IT Park, offering simplified residency procedures for up to four years.
