The State Tax Service of Moldova has joined the international program “Tax Inspectors Without Borders” (TIWB)
With the support of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Development Program, the State Tax Service launched the international program “Tax Inspectors Without Borders” on September 8. The initiative aims to strengthen the capacity of the country's tax authorities, introduce international standards, and establish a fair and effective administration system. During the event, State Secretary of the Ministry of Finance Corina Alexa emphasized that the project will strengthen analytical and control mechanisms, develop competencies, and introduce new tools into the work. Director of the State Tax Service Olga Golban noted that the program fits organically into the process of modernizing the tax system, which includes updating legislation and administrative practices, as well as creating a transfer pricing unit. She also highlighted OECD initiatives and standards, such as the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) for the automatic exchange of information, the EU Fiscalis program, and the contributions of other development partners—UNDP, IMF, Swedish Tax Agency, US Treasury, World Bank—who are assisting in the development of the tax service in Moldova. OECD representative Harry Tonino said that the program will strengthen the skills of inspectors, support the implementation of international standards, and contribute to the formation of a sustainable and attractive economy. Seher Ariner, Deputy Resident Representative of UNDP in Moldova, added that the project will enhance the institutional capacity of tax authorities, accelerate digitalization, and strengthen transparency. It is worth noting that as part of the program, expert Radu Anghel is assisting the State Tax Service in implementing legislation on transfer pricing and advance pricing agreements until the end of this week. // 09.09.2025 – InfoMarket
