Moldova’s Tax Chief: We Want to Stay Invisible to Compliant Businesses

Director of the State Tax Service: ‘We want to remain out of sight for those who follow the rules’

The State Tax Service has set itself the target of ensuring that 90 per cent of revenue flowing into the state budget comes from voluntary compliance with tax legislation. This was stated by its director, Elena Țibirnă, during the training seminar ‘Budget, Tax and Customs Policy 2027: Interpretation, Mechanisms and Procedures for Application’, which took place on 12 November 2026.

In her address to the participants, the Director of the State Tax Service emphasised that the agency is committed to strengthening its relationship with the business community, based on accountability, transparency and dialogue.

“We want to be invisible to those who follow the rules, respect established standards and support the state budget; and, of course, we will be visible to those who evade lawful business registration and engage in tax evasion,” noted Elena Țibirnă.

She emphasised the role of the digitalisation of tax services, clear rules and guidance in promoting voluntary compliance with tax legislation. According to her, the State Tax Service intends to continue developing information and support tools so that taxpayers can understand and correctly apply the legislation.

The training session was organised by the Ministry of Finance in conjunction with the State Tax Service, the Customs Service and the publication Monitorul Fiscal FISC.md.

Depending on the issues raised by taxpayers, further seminars on this topic are planned.
