Start typing to check whether your activity is eligible for the Moldova IT Park.
The 70% rule decides it
Having an eligible CAEM code is only half of the test. To hold IT Park resident status, at least 70% of your sales revenue must come from eligible activities, and that threshold must be met both monthly and annually. Non-compliance is tolerated for up to two months in a year. If eligible work is a side line rather than your main business, the status does not hold.

- The eligible activity is the primary business, the one generating that 70% or more of revenue.

What IT Park residency
actually turns on.
The 7% regime is generous, so eligibility is drawn tightly. Two things decide it: the activity and the revenue share.
Eligibility is about the activity, not just the code
The IT Park administration assesses the real activity, not only the CAEM code you declared at ASP. Several eligible codes are narrower than the full CAEM class: post-production (59.12) counts only for visual effects, animation, and game work; specialised design (74.10) and research (72.19) count only when done on high-performance computing; biotechnology research (72.11) counts only for bioinformatics and nanobiotechnology. Reading the definition of your code, not just its title, is how you avoid a surprise at review.
The 70% revenue test, monthly and annually
Residency turns on where your money comes from. At least 70% of sales revenue must be generated by eligible activities, and the IT Park applies that test both month by month and across the year. A single strong month of non-eligible revenue can breach it, though the rules tolerate non-compliance for up to two months in a year. This is the condition residents most often stumble on, not the activity list itself.
The BPO opening, for export
The February 2024 amendments brought business process outsourcing into scope. Call centre activities (82.20) became eligible, but only when provided exclusively for export, and IT staffing (78.30) sits alongside them. If you run a contact centre or an outstaffing operation serving foreign clients, the IT Park is now open to you in a way it was not before.
From eligible to enrolled
This checker tells you whether your activity is on the list and how the 70% rule applies. It is an indicative pre-flight check, not the IT Park administration decision. Once you know you qualify, the next questions are the tax at 7% of turnover and the per-employee floor, which our MITP calculator models, and the residency application itself, which our team handles end to end.

What activities are eligible for the Moldova IT Park?
Eligibility is set by Article 8 of Law 77/2016 and covers software development (CAEM 62.01), IT consultancy (62.02), computer facilities management (62.03), other IT services (62.09), data processing and hosting (63.11), web portals (63.12), software and game publishing (58.29 and 58.21), R&D in computer science and biotechnology (72.19 and 72.11), IT training (85.59.12), specialised design and electronic component manufacture (74.10 and 26.11), game-industry post-production and sound (59.12 and 59.20.13), plus, from 2024, call centres (82.20, export only) and IT staffing (78.30). Use the checker above to test your specific activity.
How do I know if my CAEM code qualifies for IT Park?
Type your CAEM code into the checker above. If it is one of the codes listed in Article 8 of Law 77/2016, it is eligible, and the tool shows the official definition and any scope limit. Note that some codes qualify only in part: for example post-production 59.12 counts only for VFX, animation, and game work.
What is the 70% rule for IT Park residents?
To hold IT Park resident status, at least 70% of your sales revenue must come from eligible activities. The threshold is checked both monthly and annually, with a tolerance for non-compliance of up to two months per year. An eligible CAEM code alone is not enough if eligible work is not your primary source of revenue.
Can a call centre or BPO join the Moldova IT Park?
Yes, since the February 2024 amendments. Call centre activities under CAEM 82.20 are eligible, but only when the service is provided exclusively for export. IT staffing under 78.30 is eligible alongside them. This opened the regime to business process outsourcing serving foreign clients.
Does general IT consulting qualify for the 7% tax?
Computer consultancy under CAEM 62.02, planning and designing computer systems, hardware and software advisory, and technical support, is eligible. General management consultancy is not. The distinction is whether the consultancy is about computer systems specifically, which is what the code covers.
Do digital marketing, SEO, or Google Ads services qualify for the IT Park?
It depends on what the work actually is, not on the label. Writing code and building websites or web pages, which is what technical SEO and web development involve, is custom software development under CAEM 62.01. Its official definition covers designing the structure and content of a web page and writing the code required for its development and deployment. A web portal falls under 63.12. Both are eligible. But marketing services, keyword strategy, link building, content optimisation, and paid-campaign management such as Google Ads and PPC, fall under advertising, CAEM 73.11 and 73.12, which are not on the list. So a web-development firm that does technical SEO as part of building sites qualifies; a marketing agency selling SEO campaigns and running Google Ads does not. As always, the administration assesses your real primary activity and the 70% revenue rule decides it.
My main activity is eligible but I have other revenue. Do I still qualify?
You qualify as long as eligible activities generate at least 70% of your sales revenue, measured both monthly and annually. Up to 30% of revenue can come from non-eligible sources. If the mix shifts and eligible work falls below 70% for more than two months in a year, resident status is at risk.
Is this the official IT Park eligibility decision?
No. This is an indicative pre-flight check based on Article 8 of Law 77/2016 and the published eligibility criteria of the IT Park administration. The binding decision is made by the administration on your application. Our team prepares and files that application and confirms your activity mix against the 70% rule first.
