Starting May 4, business licenses can be obtained and renewed online
The State Tax Service has announced the launch of a new digital interface that will streamline the process of obtaining or renewing a business license—online, from any device. According to the agency, the new interface will streamline interactions with tax authorities and expand access to services for patent holders. In particular, integration with the MPay electronic payment service has been implemented, allowing users to pay the patent fee and contributions to social and mandatory health insurance funds using a single payment document online. Users will be able to submit applications for the issuance and renewal of patents without physically visiting tax offices. Access to the service will be available through the sfs.md portal: authorization via MPass is required, after which users must select the e-Cerere service (patent management module) and fill out an application for the issuance or renewal of a patent. The State Tax Service encourages taxpayers to use the new available features and take advantage of the modernized electronic tax services. At the same time, individuals who are unable to log in to their personal taxpayer account may request the issuance or renewal of a patent at the tax service office in the area where they reside or plan to conduct business. The State Tax Service clarifies that patents issued or renewed before April 30, 2026, remain valid until their expiration. After that, to continue operations, it will be necessary to submit an application to terminate the old patent and simultaneously apply for an electronic one. // 30.04.2026 — InfoMarket
