Methodologies for collecting property tax to be updated in Moldova

The methodologies applied in the process of collecting property tax will be updated, in order to allow local councils to set taxes more accurately and precisely. Finance Minister Andrian Gavrilita has made statements to this effect after the cabinet meeting.

“This is an initiative long awaited by local authorities, because property taxes are collected by the municipalities. It is about updating the methodologies for collecting taxes, but the document is still a work in progress. In the near future, we will have updates and answers to this question,” the official explained.

The minister stressed that updating the methodologies would allow municipalities to set taxes more accurately and precisely.

“It’s not so much that it will increase, but rather that it will allow municipalities to set taxes more accurately and precisely. We still have this problem: in many cases, we have land and properties that are not delimited and not evaluated, which makes it difficult for municipalities to collect what they might be entitled to. For this reason, it is necessary to update the framework and the methodologies. It will already be at the discretion of the municipalities to set the coefficients, based on a more transparent reality,” the minister emphasized.

The property tax represents a mandatory payment to the budget, established according to the value of the immovable property owned.
