Basics about Moldova IT Park

7 / 7
What is Moldova IT Park?

Moldova IT Park is a special regime for companies carrying out eligible IT and digital activities in Moldova. A resident applies the 7% single tax but must comply with activity, revenue, employee, accounting and annual review conditions.

Is Moldova IT Park a physical office or a virtual regime?

It is not a classic business centre. It is a special residency regime. A company may work from anywhere if it is registered in Moldova, has resident status and complies with the regime.

Who can become a Moldova IT Park resident?

A business entity registered in Moldova can become a resident if it carries out main activity from the eligible list and is included in the resident register.

Can a company become an IT Park resident without a Moldovan company?

No. First, a Moldovan business entity is needed. After that, activity, documents and resident-status filing can be reviewed.

Is IT Park only for programmers?

No. The regime may also fit other digital directions from the eligible list. Each project should be reviewed based on actual services and revenue.

How is IT Park different from ordinary SRL?

SRL is the legal form of a company. IT Park is a special tax regime that can apply after resident status is obtained.

Is IT Park Accounting Moldova IT Park?

No. IT Park Accounting is not a public authority and is not the official Moldova IT Park administration. We provide consulting, accounting and support services.

Residency and resident status

7 / 7
How does a company become a Moldova IT Park resident?

The company follows the established procedure, submits data and, after approval, signs an agreement with the Park administration. Before filing, activity, CAEM, contracts, revenue and accounting readiness should be checked.

When does the 7% tax start to apply?

Usually, the regime applies after resident status is obtained and from the period provided by registration rules. The agreement date, status date and first tax month should be checked.

How long does IT Park residency take?

The timing depends on company and document readiness. Most time is usually spent on preparation: company, CAEM, activity description, contracts and accounting structure.

Is there a state fee for residency?

Current procedure conditions should be checked separately. The company should also consider document preparation, analysis, support and further accounting costs.

Can a company join IT Park immediately after registration?

Yes, this may be a working strategy. The company should be opened correctly, CAEM selected, activity reviewed and residency prepared.

Can an existing company move to IT Park?

Yes, if its activity and revenue meet the requirements. Before transition, contracts, VAT, employees, revenue, balances, accounting and tax effects should be checked.

Can a company leave IT Park?

Yes, resident status is not irreversible. Exit affects the tax regime, reporting, employees and accounting, so it should be planned.

Activities and the 70% rule

7 / 7
Which activities are allowed in Moldova IT Park?

Allowed activities are listed in Law No. 77/2016. They usually include software, IT consulting, web platforms, data processing, R&D, digital design and other listed directions.

What does the 70% revenue rule mean?

The resident’s main activity should generate 70% or more of sales revenue from eligible activities. This indicator is supported by accounting data and documents.

How is 70% calculated for IT Park?

Revenue from eligible services is compared with total sales revenue. Contracts, acts, invoices and service descriptions should be consistent.

Is non-IT revenue a problem?

Not always. Eligible activity should form at least 70% of sales revenue. If other revenue becomes significant, the risk should be assessed in advance.

Should the IT component be confirmed in contracts?

Yes. Documents should logically show the link between revenue and eligible activity. General descriptions may be insufficient.

Can IT Park be combined with ordinary services?

Different directions are possible, but the key issue is the revenue share from eligible activity. If non-IT activity dominates, the regime becomes risky.

What if the activity is not obvious?

The actual service, contract, work result, CAEM and future revenue structure should be analysed. Activity logic is checked before residency is recommended.

7% single tax

7 / 7
What is the 7% single tax for IT Park?

It is the special tax of an IT Park resident, calculated from sales revenue but not lower than the employee-based minimum threshold.

Is 7% paid from profit or turnover?

The single tax is calculated from sales revenue, not profit. Expenses do not reduce the base in the same way as under ordinary profit tax.

What is the taxable object of the single tax?

The object is sales revenue reflected monthly in accounting. Returns, discounts and adjustments should be properly documented.

What is the minimum tax threshold?

If 7% of revenue is lower than the minimum amount, the company pays the minimum. The threshold is linked to 30% of forecast average salary for each employee counted.

What tax is paid if there is no revenue?

If there are employees, the minimum threshold may apply. If there is no revenue and no employees, the specific month, status and reporting duties should be checked.

Which taxes are included in the single tax?

The single tax includes several obligations, including payroll components and certain local taxes within the list of the Tax Code.

Does an IT Park resident pay VAT?

IT Park does not cancel VAT. VAT depends on registration, transactions, place of supply, export, import and other factors.

Employees, payroll and HR

7 / 7
Are employees required for IT Park?

Resident status is not reduced to having employees only, but employees affect the minimum threshold and accounting workload.

How is employee salary taxed in IT Park?

Under the special regime, payroll obligations are included in the single tax within the Tax Code rules, but the employer still needs correct payroll and HR documents.

What is included in HR support?

HR support includes employment contracts, orders, timesheets, vacations, sick leaves, salary changes, personnel documents and reporting data.

If an employee worked one day, is it counted?

Such cases should be reflected carefully because the minimum threshold is linked to employees who worked or were in paid status during the period.

Can contractors be paid instead of employees?

Yes, if the relationship is genuinely civil-law based. Reclassification risk, withholding taxes and documents should be reviewed.

Are HR documents needed for a small company?

Yes. Company size does not cancel labour rules, timesheets, orders and correct employment documentation.

Why are employees important for tax calculation?

Because the minimum threshold of the single tax depends on the number of employees counted for the period.

Accounting and documents

7 / 7
How is IT Park accounting different?

The key differences are the 7% tax, minimum threshold, revenue-structure control and annual review preparation. Accounting should support compliance with the regime.

Which documents are needed monthly?

Usually bank statements, invoices, acts, contracts, payroll and HR data, expense documents and information affecting revenue and employees are needed.

Why do service descriptions in invoices and acts matter?

Revenue should be linked to eligible activity. Very general wording may raise questions during the 70% rule review.

Can accounting be done quarterly?

The single tax and reporting are monthly, so accounting should be processed regularly.

What does the chief accountant check?

The chief accountant reviews the 7% tax, minimum threshold, revenue structure, payroll, reports and non-standard situations.

Can IT Park Accounting make payments for the client?

Yes, with an agreed process and authorisations, payment orders can be prepared and executed while controlling tax and current payments.

What if accounting already contains errors?

Diagnostics are needed: 7% tax, reports, payroll, contracts, revenue and primary documents, followed by accounting restoration.

Annual review and audit

7 / 7
What is the mandatory annual review?

The resident annually confirms compliance with regime conditions: activity, revenue, documents, employees and tax data.

Who performs the annual review?

The review is performed by an auditor or audit entity. IT Park Accounting prepares accounting, documents, calculations and accounting-side communication.

What is usually checked?

Eligible activity, 70% rule, contracts, acts, invoices, accounting data, employees, payroll, tax and reporting are reviewed.

When should preparation start?

It is best to prepare from the first month in IT Park. Then the review becomes a working stage, not urgent restoration.

What if the company does not confirm the conditions?

Consequences depend on the breach and period. Questions may arise regarding status, tax obligations and reporting correctness.

Should documents be kept after the review?

Yes. Documents are needed for audit, tax, accounting and legal purposes and should be stored according to law.

Does IT Park Accounting perform the audit?

IT Park Accounting prepares data and documents. The review itself is performed by an auditor or audit entity.

Foreign clients and non-residents

7 / 7
Does IT Park fit companies with foreign clients?

Yes, if the services are eligible. Contracts, invoices, foreign currency receipts, VAT logic and service confirmation should be prepared correctly.

Can a foreign founder open a company for IT Park?

Yes. A foreign founder may register a Moldovan company and then consider IT Park residency after structure and document review.

Can the company work fully remotely?

The IT Park regime does not require physical presence in a park office, but documents, accounting and reporting should follow Moldovan rules.

How are payments from foreign clients recorded?

Payments should match contracts and invoices. Currency, payment purpose, service, VAT and link to eligible activity matter.

Is withholding tax possible for payments to non-residents?

Yes, it may be. The single tax does not cancel all withholding obligations, so non-resident payments should be reviewed separately.

Must a foreign client sign acceptance acts?

It depends on the contract and document flow. Documents should confirm the service, period, value and link to eligible activity.

Can payment be received in foreign currency?

Yes, but foreign currency receipts should be reflected correctly in accounting and the payment purpose should match the service.

Can I get consultation before opening a company?

Yes. This is the right moment to choose structure, activities, tax model, bank, employees and document process.
