Public consultations on the Republic of Moldova’s negotiating position for Chapter 16 – Taxation were held under the auspices of the Ministry of Finance.
The meeting took place in the context of the official opening, on 13 October 2026, of accession negotiations for Cluster 2 – “Internal Market” and Cluster 3 – “Competitiveness and Inclusive Growth”, providing stakeholders with an opportunity to learn about and examine the commitments that the Republic of Moldova intends to undertake in these areas.
During the event, the main commitments and proposed transitional periods were presented, along with the measures required to align the national tax system with the European Union acquis.
Chapter 16 – Taxation is of particular importance to the business community, as the process of harmonising tax legislation with European standards must be carried out in a balanced and predictable manner, allowing public institutions and businesses sufficient time to prepare for and implement the new requirements.
FIA Moldova was represented at the consultations by Inga Pascal, Project Manager.
