The size of the Road Fund in 2020 amounted to 2 billion 229.3 million lei, about a third of which came from excise taxes on oil products.
This follows from the report of the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure on the implementation of the Program for the allocation of funds from the road fund for national public highways for 2020. According to the document, the size of the Road Fund for 2020 was approved in the amount of 2 billion 237.7 million lei, of which 1 billion 605.78 million lei - for national roads and 631.9 million lei - for local ones. However, contributions to the road fund from the total volume of excise taxes on petroleum products (excluding liquefied gas) were limited at 67.01%, and subsequently reduced to 66.76%. As a result, the real amount in the road fund amounted to 2 billion 229.3 million lei: about 582.9 million lei came from road taxes, and 1 billion 646.5 million lei - from excise taxes on oil products. Last year, the Road Fund received 400.7 million lei from the payment of fees for the use of roads by cars registered in Moldova. However, the report notes that this amount is only half of the accumulated amount of this collection - another 631.9 million lei were transferred to the state budget as special transfers to administrative-territorial units of the II level. The Road Fund received about 95 million lei from the payment of vignettes, 49.1 million lei from the payment of permits for international road transport, and 10.9 million lei from the tax on the sale of natural gas intended for use as fuel for vehicles. // 06.07.2021 — InfoMarket
