Moldova to Align Tax System with EU Standards with ‘FISCALIS’ Program Ratification

The Republic of Moldova is set to align its tax system with European Union (EU) standards as the government approves the ratification of the Agreement between Moldova and the EU on the participation of Moldova in the EU program for fiscal cooperation, “FISCALIS”. The agreement will enable cooperation with the tax administrations of EU member states and contribute to the collection of taxes by combating tax fraud and evasion through efficient IT systems, exchange of best practices, and joint risk management.

The Minister of Finance, Veronica SireČ›eanu, stated that the agreement will improve the functioning of the internal market, stimulate competitiveness, and ensure fair competition. Various actions aimed at strengthening IT capacities will be funded through the implementation of the agreement, including the development and operation of European electronic systems, according to the government’s press service.
