The tax inspector who will receive the tax return will communicate the IBAN code by which the income tax can be paid to the taxpayers. A number of institutions with which the Ministry of Finance signed relevant contracts will freely manage the payment of the income tax by private individuals. These are “Agroindbank”, “Moldinconbank”, “Eximbank - Gruppo Veneto Banca” and Moldova’s Post Office.

Thus, if the income tax is paid through “Moldinconbank”, “Eximbank - Gruppo Veneto Banca” and “Moldova’s Post Office”, the person is obliged to present the identity card and the IBAN code. “Agroindbank” also requires a completed form entitled “Request for payment collection”, which includes the IBAN code. The form is available from the local tax office.
