Transactions on the accounts of individuals carried out through money transfer systems will be an indirect source of information for determining taxable income.
Appropriate changes to the Tax Code are proposed to be made as part of the draft tax and customs policy for 2024. In particular, it is proposed that financial institutions provide information on transactions carried out through money transfer systems by individuals. This amendment to the Tax Code was discussed the day before during a meeting between the leadership of the State Tax Service and representatives of the Association of Banks of Moldova. The parties discussed proposals for improving the initiative, possible problems and difficulties that banks will face. The parties also exchanged views on improving the work of the automated information system "Indirect method of collecting information". The draft tax policy for 2024 provides for clarification of certain provisions of Art. 22611 and clarification of some aspects regarding indirect sources of information. For example, it is proposed that persons engaged in entrepreneurial activities (except the self-employed) provide not only information on loans issued from individuals during the tax year and on loans returned to individuals, but also information on debts to employees, except for wage arrears. Providers of information from indirect sources will have to provide information on the registration or repayment of debts of entrepreneurs to employees, if their amount exceeds 200 thousand lei. Payment institutions and e-money issuers may be exempt from reporting information on cash transactions made by individuals during the tax year. In addition, it is proposed that information providers for determining indirect sources provide information on the crediting and / or debiting of funds to bank or payment accounts of individuals, including transactions carried out through money transfer systems, if the total debit or credit turnover of the relevant tax accounts year exceeds 300 thousand lei. A bill containing these changes is scheduled to be considered by the government next week. // 09.06.2023 - InfoMarket.
