It is worth mentioning that the submission of the declaration is mandatory for citizens who have unpaid amounts of income tax, including as a result of capital gains; if the person used personal exemption and received a taxable income of more than 360 thousand lei during the year; if the person requests a refund of the overpaid amount of income tax; if he/she wants to participate in the mechanism of interest deduction (“2%”), or if he/she changes his/her residence in Moldova to another country. The income tax declaration (CET18) can be submitted electronically and on paper at one of the STS subdivisions, regardless of the place of residence, or online - through the service “Electronic Declaration”, which allows viewing, modifying and submitting to the STS the declaration https://www.servicii.fisc.md, using mobile and electronic signature. The taxpayer may request a pre-filled declaration at the STS office or visualize it in the electronic system if the declaration is submitted online. If the data in the pre-filled declaration is incomplete or inaccurate, it can be corrected and supplemented. One can also send the completed declaration signed with an electronic signature to the STS e-mail address - mail@sfs.md.
