Moldova in brief
Europe's quietest tech-tax experiment - and it works.
Moldova built one of Europe's most radical tech regimes and barely advertised it: the Moldova IT Park is a virtual park - no walls, no relocation - whose resident companies pay a single tax of 7% of turnover that replaces corporate tax, payroll income tax and social contributions all at once. For IT services and product teams the arithmetic is startling, the paperwork is one line, and thousands of companies have joined. Around it sits a normal small economy moving fast: SRLs register in a day with no minimum capital, standard corporate tax is 12% with 6% dividends, the leu floats sensibly, and EU accession talks opened in 2024 on real momentum.
The frame matters. The home market is 2.5 million people; you come for the IT Park, the costs or the EU-candidate trajectory, not domestic scale. The banking sector rebuilt itself after the 2014 scandal into a majority EU-owned system (maib, OTP, Victoriabank) that KYCs foreigners properly. Regional geopolitics is part of any Moldova conversation, and we have it directly rather than around it. Romanian is the language, Latin script, with Russian widely spoken - for nearshore teams serving both Europe and the CIS space, the talent fit is precisely the point.
Europe's least-advertised tech experiment: the virtual IT Park charges 7% of turnover, replacing corporate, payroll and social taxes in one line. Thousands of companies joined. Around it: one-day registry, no capital, 12%/6%, EU talks since 2024.
2.5M at home: you come for the Park, the costs or the trajectory. Banks rebuilt EU-owned after 2014 and KYC properly. The regional situation is a conversation we have directly, case by case; operations have run uninterrupted.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
Moldova and the IT Park: what clients ask.
Can I open a Moldovan company without visiting?+
Yes. With an apostilled power of attorney our Chișinău team files at the ASP one-stop, obtains fiscal codes and applies for IT Park residency remotely. Banks onboard with standard KYC, some by video, some preferring one meeting - we sort the matching.
How much does it cost?+
Turnkey registration starts from €1,500 including registry fees and the first year of the registered address, among the lowest entry costs in Europe. With a bank account arranged, packages start from €2,800. Renewal with basic accounting runs from €1,200 a year.
How does the IT Park actually work?+
Resident companies pay a single tax of 7% of turnover, and that's the whole bill: it replaces corporate tax, employees' income tax and social/medical contributions. The park is virtual, so no relocation or office-in-a-zone games. A floor applies per employee (tied to the average national wage), which matters for tiny teams; we run that math first. Residency requires qualifying IT activity and is filed per company.
What if my business isn't IT?+
The standard system is still Europe's low end: 12% on profits, 6% on dividends, about 17% all-in, with no minimum capital and a one-day registry. Free economic zones add customs and tax advantages for manufacturers. The Park is the star, but the supporting cast is real.
Is Moldova joining the EU?+
Candidate status came in 2022 and accession negotiations opened in June 2024, the fastest candidacy in the region's modern history, driven hard by the current government. The road remains long and politics matter; nobody has set a date, so neither do we. Association access to EU markets already works today.
How is banking after 2014?+
Transformed, and both halves deserve saying. The 2014 billion-dollar scandal forced a cleanup that ended with EU ownership of the sector's core: maib (EBRD among shareholders), OTP, Victoriabank, Banca Transilvania's presence. KYC is real, correspondent lines work, and MDL/EUR/USD accounts are standard. We prepare the file and open the right doors.
What about the regional situation?+
We address it directly, because clients ask: Moldova borders a war zone and prices that reality in. It is also precisely why the state is sprinting toward the EU, and why costs and talent availability look the way they do. For nearshore teams and Park companies the practical operations have run uninterrupted; for supply chains we plan routes deliberately. It's a conversation we have openly, case by case.
What does hiring cost?+
Europe's lowest tier: skilled developer salaries well below EU levels, and inside the Park the 7% covers all payroll taxes - the employee's net is the employer's cost plus the single tax. Romanian and Russian bilingualism is standard, English strong in tech. It is the arithmetic that built the Park's ten-thousand-strong workforce.
Moldova or Georgia / Romania?+
Georgia offers its own famous regimes (1% small business, distributed-only taxation) with a different geography. Romania offers the EU today at 16% and micro-regimes with strings. Moldova's Park beats both for pure IT service companies on rate simplicity: 7%, one line, done. EU-membership-now cases go west; tech-margin cases stay.
How long does it take?+
The ASP registers in as little as 24 hours: plan 1-3 business days for the company, a few more for VAT, and one to two weeks for the IT Park residency decision. Banking adds one to two weeks. From first call to a working 7% company: typically under a month, end to end.
