At the moment, entrepreneurs must submit a total of 92 tax and statistical reports (59 to the NBS and 33 to the State Tax Service), and the reduction made is significant.

As noted by the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization, by simplifying reporting, the authorities are helping entrepreneurs increase productivity and efficiency, reducing administrative costs. Most reports will be optimized for agricultural, industrial and energy companies. Easing the reporting burden is a key action in the fight against the informal economy to bring as many entrepreneurs into the formal economic chain as possible, so it is an absolute priority for the Government of Moldova. It is emphasized that the Cabinet of Ministers strives to transform Moldova into the best country for attracting investments and opening businesses and for doing business by 2027. The authorities’ task is to provide the simplest possible environment for doing business, reducing bureaucracy and corruption, accelerating digital transformation and thereby increasing entrepreneurs’ confidence in government institutions and providing them with space to develop innovation and implement creative ideas. The authorities intend to continue efforts to reduce unnecessary bureaucratic red tape and excessive reporting with the aim of introducing a single and harmonized reporting system.// 07.11.2023 — InfoMarket
