What it means to be an IT Park resident — and whether it's worth it for you

"IT Park" is the regime that transformed Moldova's IT industry. But it isn't magic and isn't for everyone — let's see clearly what it involves.

What it is, in short

Moldova IT Park is a virtual park: you don't physically relocate anywhere, you register as a resident if your activity falls within the list of eligible activities (software development, IT services, R&D and others). In return, you pay a single tax that replaces several taxes and contributions — a percentage of revenue, capped per employee.

What the single tax covers

The single tax generally covers: tax on income from the core activity, payroll tax, social and medical contributions (within the cap), and more. In practice: one calculation, one payment, maximum predictability.

Note: the single tax applies to income from the eligible activity. Income from other activities is taxed separately, under the general regime.

Obligations that come with it

• Monthly reporting to the park administration (turnover, calculation base, number of employees).
• Mandatory annual audit of the resident — a check that the activity and records match the residency conditions.
• Correct accounting, kept separate by activity if you also have non-eligible income.

Is it worth it?

Almost always yes, if:

• your main activity is eligible;
• you have (or will have) employees — that's where the saving is greatest;
• you want fiscal predictability for investors or clients.

It's less clear-cut if you have mixed income (partly eligible, partly not) — then the calculation must be done carefully.

The next step

If you run an IT company and aren't a resident yet, let's check together whether your activity qualifies and what you'd save — and if you become a resident, we handle the monthly reporting and the annual audit.
