Why Moldova
The numbers,
in force.
Zero per cent on reinvested profits, for SMEs through 2026. Seven per cent for IT Park residents, state-guaranteed to 2035. Twelve per cent personal income tax, flat. SEPA-connected banking since October 2025. EU candidate since 2022, accession negotiations open since 2024. None of this is a workaround, all of it is statute.

Who we work with
Three kinds of founder.
Each one welcome.
We work with founders who have thought carefully about structure. Not the cheapest, not the fastest. The right one.
-
01 Relocating
You are leaving Germany, the Netherlands, or France and you have done the maths. We also work with founders relocating from elsewhere in the EU, the Americas, the Middle East, and East Asia. You need a Moldovan entity with real substance, not a shelf company with a letterbox.
-
02 Remote
Your clients pay in EUR. You invoice from a foreign account and operate in a grey area. A Moldovan SRL gives you a real entity, real banking, and a tax framework that rewards reinvestment.
-
03 IT companies
You are scaling an engineering team and the MITP 7% turnover regime is materially better than your current setup. We structure the Moldovan subsidiary, secure MITP residency, and coordinate IT specialist visas for the senior hires you want to relocate.
-
04 Manufacturers
You need EU proximity, DCFTA tariff-free access, and a strong workforce at a fraction of western European cost. We set up the operating SRL, coordinate FEZ residency where it fits, and handle the residence permits for the managers you relocate to oversee the line.
-
05 Holding
You want a Moldovan SRL as an intermediate layer for east-west deal flow, IP, or treasury. We architect the structure with specialist tax counsel, built to withstand third-party scrutiny.

Common questions
Asked every week.
If yours isn't here, the full library lives at /en/faq/ or write to info@incorpore.md.
Can I form a Moldovan company without visiting?
Yes. The founder does not need to travel to Moldova for formation. We act under a power of attorney that you notarise and apostille in your country of residence. Supporting documents (passport copy, proof of address, founder declarations) are accepted as scans or as physical originals sent to our office in Chișinău, whichever the client prefers. Bank account opening is a separate step and requires one in-person signing at the bank's office in Chișinău.
How does the 0% reinvested profits regime work?
Moldovan SMEs (turnover up to 100 million lei, up to 249 employees) pay 0% corporate income tax on profits retained inside the company. Tax is owed only when profits are distributed: 12% CIT on the distributed amount plus 6% dividend withholding at source. The scheme was introduced in 2023 and has been extended through 2026. Some sectors are excluded, including financial services, insurance, trade, and IT Park residents (which use a different regime).
What about the 7% IT Park rate?
IT Park (MITP) residents pay a single 7% turnover-based tax that replaces corporate income tax, salary income tax, social security contributions, medical insurance, local taxes, real estate tax, and road tax for IT activities and IT specialists. VAT is separate. There is a minimum tax floor per employee (around MDL 5,200 per month for 2026). To qualify, the company must conduct eligible IT activities under Law 77/2016 and earn at least 70% of revenue from those activities. The regime is state-guaranteed through 2035.
Which Moldovan banks do you work with?
Maib, Moldindconbank, Victoriabank, OTP Bank Moldova, EximBank, ProCredit, and the smaller institutions where appropriate. Eight Moldovan banks have SEPA participant status since October 2025. Bank choice depends on activity, nationality, and account purpose. We pick the right institution before applying so the application is approved the first time.
How long does formation take?
Typically five to seven working days from the date all documents are signed. ASP (Agenția Servicii Publice) processes most clean dossiers in one to three working days; bank account opening adds the rest.
Does Moldova report under CRS?
Yes. Moldova joined the Common Reporting Standard with first reciprocal exchanges of financial account information in 2024. Moldovan banks report on accounts held by tax residents of CRS-partner jurisdictions to those jurisdictions’ tax authorities. Practical impact depends on your country of residence and the specific bilateral relationship. We discuss it on the call.
