Moldovan Ministry of Finance refuses to include the road tax in the excise tax on oil products.
Thus, in 2021, the current road tax system will remain, which is set depending on the engine power of the vehicle, its mass and the number of passengers. Earlier, the Ministry of Finance suggested that the tax should be proportional to the volume of consumed oil products by each vehicle. This would help redistribute the tax burden, and taxpayers who consume more petroleum products would pay a higher tax. However, the opinions of business and society on this initiative of the Ministry of Finance were divided, as a result, in the draft tax policy for 2021, the department proposed to maintain the current road tax system. At the same time, a three-year plan has been proposed to increase excise taxes on petroleum products (by 5-9%, depending on the type of product). // 26.11.2020 - InfoMarket.
