Moldovan state tax service includes by 200 economic agents more in list of big tax payers against 2016

Chisinau, 9 January /MOLDPRES/ - The State Tax Service (SFS) has changed the criteria of including tax payers in the categories “big””, in order to fit into the present economic and financial tendencies. Thus, 650 economic agents have been included in the list of big tax payers (legal entities) for 2017, against 450 last year.  

The SFS press service has said that 428 enterprises from the 2016 list were included in the new list and 222 new big tax payers (legal entities), with 22 economic agents excluded from the previous list.  

The big tax payers have been selected according to the turnover reported in the fiscal reports for the accounting reference period previous to the one in which the updating is carried out and/or to the value of supplies declared in the fiscal reports for the first 11 months of 2016.  About 80 per cent of the number of tax payers will be selected according to this criterion, on the principle of decrease. Also, decision-makers take into account volume of fiscal obligations declared and paid by the tax payer for the year preceding the one when updating is made and/or for the 11 months of the 2016 year (20 per cent of the number of tax payers will be selected according to this criterion, on the principle of decrease).   

The fiscal administration of big tax payers (economic agents) is aimed at providing them quality services and a personalized service, in line with the international standards. By this action, the Tax Service is set to contribute to continuously promoting the spirit of voluntary compliance of tax payers and to declaring and payment of fiscal obligations.

According to the tax statistics, in 2016, big tax payers (legal entities) contributed a share of 47 per cent of all state budget revenues managed by SFS.
