“These measures represent an important step towards the reintegration of the two banks of the Dniester. For the first time since 2000, the principle of ‘one country – one tax system’ is being applied,” stated PAS MP Radu Marian.
According to him, the additional revenue generated by the introduction of these taxes will be channelled into the Convergence Fund. The fund’s resources will be used to implement projects and programmes for the benefit of residents in the eastern regions of the Republic of Moldova.
“Our citizens on the left bank of the Dniester should also enjoy the benefits of a functioning and viable state, and economic operators on both banks should be subject to equal conditions when it comes to paying taxes,” added Radu Marian.
As Logos Press has previously reported, from 1 September, pearls, furs, caviar, alcohol, tobacco and a whole range of other goods imported into Moldova by economic operators registered in Transnistria are subject to VAT and, where applicable, excise duties. The introduction of VAT and excise duties, as well as the abolition of tax exemptions, will take place gradually. All existing exemptions must be fully abolished by 1 January 2030.
