Moldova Innovation Technology Park · Law 77/2016
The Moldova IT Park,
and the 7% company regime.
The Moldova IT Park lets a resident IT company pay a single tax of 7% of turnover in place of six separate taxes. Here is what it is, which activities qualify, the 70% rule that decides residency, and how to join.
Around 1,800 resident companies employ some 21,000 specialists under the regime, which is state-guaranteed to 2035.
The short version
What the Moldova IT Park is, and what it is worth.
A virtual park, not a place. Any qualifying IT company anywhere in Moldova can join and switch to the 7% regime.
What the Moldova IT Park is
The Moldova IT Park, formally the Moldova Innovation Technology Park (MITP), is a virtual park created by Law 77/2016 and run by its own administration. It is not a physical location: a qualifying IT company registered anywhere in Moldova can become a resident. Residency is the mechanism that replaces the ordinary tax stack with the single 7% regime.
The regime has been a success. Around 1,800 companies are resident, employing roughly 21,000 IT specialists, across software development, outsourcing, gaming, fintech-adjacent products, and AI. It is state-guaranteed to 2035 and operational to 2037.
The single 7% tax
A resident pays 7% of sales revenue as one tax that replaces corporate income tax, the 12% employee income tax, social security and medical contributions, local taxes, the real estate tax, and the road tax. VAT is separate and applies normally. There is a floor: a minimum tax per employee of roughly MDL 5,220 per month for 2026.
Whether the 7% or the floor binds depends on your revenue per head. Model both with our MITP 7% tax calculator before you decide.
Which activities qualify
Eligibility is set by Article 8 of Law 77/2016 and runs to seventeen CAEM codes: custom software development, IT consultancy, computer facilities management, other IT services, data processing and hosting, web portals, software and game publishing, R&D in computer science and biotechnology, IT training, specialised design and electronic components, game-industry post-production and sound, and, since 2024, export call centres and IT staffing.
Several codes are narrower than their titles suggest. Check your activity with the IT Park eligibility checker, or read the full list of eligible activities and CAEM codes.
The 70% rule that decides residency
An eligible activity is only half the test. To hold resident status, at least 70% of your sales revenue must come from eligible activities, and that threshold is checked both monthly and annually, with a tolerance of up to two months of non-compliance per year. This is the condition residents most often stumble on, so it is worth confirming your revenue mix before you apply.
How to join the Moldova IT Park
You need a Moldovan company with an eligible activity, then an application to the IT Park administration for resident status. If you are not yet incorporated, the two steps run together: we form the SRL and file the IT Park application in one engagement. If you already have a Moldovan company, we confirm your activity mix against the 70% rule and file for residency.

What is the Moldova IT Park?
The Moldova IT Park (MITP) is a virtual park created by Law 77/2016 that lets a resident IT company pay a single tax of 7% of turnover instead of corporate income tax, employee income tax, social and medical contributions, local taxes, the real estate tax, and the road tax. It is not a physical place: a qualifying company registered anywhere in Moldova can join. Around 1,800 companies are resident.
How does a company join the Moldova IT Park?
A Moldovan company with an eligible activity applies to the IT Park administration for resident status. If you are not yet incorporated, you form a Moldovan SRL first and file the two together. The eligible activity must generate at least 70% of sales revenue, checked monthly and annually.
How much tax does a Moldova IT Park company pay?
A resident pays 7% of turnover as a single tax, subject to a minimum per-employee tax of roughly MDL 5,220 per month for 2026. VAT is separate and applies at the standard 20% above the registration threshold.
Which companies qualify for the Moldova IT Park?
Companies whose primary activity is one of the seventeen eligible CAEM codes under Article 8 of Law 77/2016, including software development, IT consultancy, hosting, web portals, game and software publishing, R&D, IT training, and, since 2024, export call centres and IT staffing. At least 70% of revenue must come from eligible activities.
Is the Moldova IT Park regime secure?
The 7% regime is guaranteed by the state to 2035, with the park operational to 2037. It has run since 2018 and supports around 1,800 resident companies, so the framework is well established rather than experimental.
