Moldovan cabinet approves unification of reports on salary payments, related taxes

Chisinau, 20 July /MOLDPRES/ - The cabinet of ministers, at a today’s meeting, approved a draft law on implementation of a single report on salary payments. The measure is aimed at facilitating the work of entrepreneurs and diminishing the volume of data needed to be unveiled to public authorities.   

According to the government’s communication and media relations department, the legislative amendments simplify the process of financial and statistic reporting by launching a single platform of reporting, managed by the State Fiscal Service. Thus, instead of presenting five reports to institutions in different periods of time, economic agents will unveil the data included in the FSIC 16 report to a single institution till the date of 25 of each month.   

The reports on salary payments, related taxes and some aspects of the labour relations regarded are: the report on the sum of income paid and the income tax withhold from it; declaration on calculation and use of state mandatory state social insurances contributions; declaration of the insured person, including the REV-2 form; report on calculation of mandatory health insurances premiums and the Form 2-03/l. Presently, they are periodically submitted to the State Fiscal Service, National Social Insurances House and, respectively, the National Health Insurances House.

At the same time, the legislative initiative introduces one-off rules for presenting the report, sets the way eventual sanctions are applied for their non-unveiling in time, as well as possibilities to correct previous reports. The new norms are to enter into force starting from 1 January 2017.  

Prime Minister Pavel Filip stressed the importance to unify the reporting, stressing that this was a logical action, changing radically the approach on behalf of the state in relation to enterprises.

The draft law was developed by the Economics Ministry, with the support of the Business Regulatory, Investment and Trade Environment (BRITE) project, at an initiative by the members of the Economic Council of Prime Minister. Business people’s representatives spoke out for simplifying the requirements of the labour legislation towards enterprises and diminishing the volume of data reported.   

The document is to be submitted to parliament for consideration.
