In the first quarter of 2024, 29.6 million transactions with bank cards worth 8.5 billion lei took part in the tax lottery.
At the same time, the number of transactions with bank cards increased by 22.3% compared to the same period last year, and the amount of transactions increased by 16.9%. According to the State Tax Service, from the total number of transactions carried out in January-March 2024, 175 winners were selected, each of whom will receive 1,000 lei. The winnings will be transferred to the winners' card accounts within 10 days. Recall that all individuals who have reached the age of 18 and own a bank card from one of the Moldovan banks automatically participate in the Tax Lottery. The prize draw is carried out among transactions carried out using bank cards in POS terminals of the country, when purchasing goods or services worth more than 30 lei. The list of winning transactions generated by the system on the day of the draw is sent to licensed commercial banks to determine the winners. Banks, in turn, submit a list of winning transactions to the State Tax Service, notifying the winners by telephone. Every quarter, the State Tax Service holds 4 regular drawings for cash prizes (with a winning of 1,000 lei), as well as 2 special drawings - for the winter and Easter holidays (with a winning of 1,500 lei). The tax lottery is designed to stimulate non-cash circulation of funds in the economy and reduce cash circulation.// 30.04.2024 – InfoMarket.
