According to Minister of Finance Dumitru Budianschi, 2023 will be a year with strong specific challenges, and in these conditions the state's policy is to support citizens, first of all, by targeting the most vulnerable categories of people.

The document sees proactive measures, which will contribute to the creation of better conditions for economic development, among which: the introduction of the 0% income tax rate for micro, small or medium-sized enterprises, in case of non-distribution of net profit for fiscal periods 2023- 2025; accelerated depreciation of investments for large enterprises; implementation of the concept regarding the refund of the VAT amount accumulated in the account starting from January 1, 2023; reverse charge of VAT on the import of services.

Also, measures are proposed to strengthen the revenues of local public authorities, in particular, of town halls, including through the redistribution of some taxes.

At the same time, the value ceilings for meal vouchers will be increased: from 35 lei to 55 lei and from 55 lei to 70 lei and the ceiling of the value of fixed assets for which depreciation is calculated for tax purposes - from 6,000 lei to 12,000 lei.

The project also aims to amend the law on the unitary salary system in the budget sector. Thus, the minimum salary for the staff in the budget sector will be increased from 3500 lei to 4000 lei.

The period for carrying out commercial activity based on the patent will be extended until July 1, 2023, and 100% of the proceeds from the road use tax will be allocated to local budgets, in the form of general purpose transfers.

According to the project, on July 1, 2023, the new Customs Code of the Republic of Moldova will enter into force. The measures included in the fiscal and customs policy project were the basis for the drafting of the state budget for next year.
