The Cabinet approved a bill to amend and supplement the Tax Code. The document provides that the motor vehicles registered in the countries with which Moldova signed bilateral or multilateral agreements will be mutually exempted from paying road taxes in Moldova. The measure does not yet apply to motor vehicles registered in the states where the signed agreements are not respected.
Simultaneously, the road tax for foreign buses and trucks was reduced by 30%. The move is aimed at increasing the number of crossings by motor vehicles so that the states could cover its possible losses.
The tax for using the national roads will be yet five times higher for motor vehicles that are heavier than the admissible limits. The given amendment is expected to bring about 50 million lei into the state budget. The money will be used for maintaining and developing road infrastructure.
