Events, Meetings & Activities

Established in 2009, the Tax Committee is one of AmCham Moldova’s most dynamic and respected advocacy platforms. With its finger on the pulse of legislative change, the Committee represents a vital link between the business community and policymakers on matters related to taxation, financial reporting, and audit.

Mission

The mission of the Committee is to enhance the Moldovan tax, financial reporting and audit regulations by acting as an advocacy group by to identifying and promoting solutions to relevant issues of the business community, and to provide a forum for dialogue among sector professionals and decision-makers in Government, as well as to serve as an educational, networking and information hub for the business community on tax, financial reporting, and audit. 

Objectives

1. Promote a competitive and predictable tax, financial reporting and audit environment, consistent with best European practices;
2. Engage early in the legislative process to incorporate private sector feedback;
3. Raise awareness and build understanding of tax-related matters among AmCham members;
4. Represent the collective voice of the private sector in policy dialogue;
5. Address shared tax issues affecting groups of businesses, rather than isolated cases.

Advocacy Agenda

A competitive, predictable, and harmonized tax system with European and international standards is an essential precondition for the sustainable development of the national economy, the community's advocacy agenda being built precisely to achieve this objective, including:

• Harmonization with the EU tax acquis (Chapter 16) and OECD frameworks
• Predictability in tax regulations through timely consultations
• Risk-based, fair, and digitalized tax procedures using AI and Big Data
• Transparent and efficient tax audit mechanisms
• Streamlined B2G, B2B, and domestic tax processes
• Smart, fair tax incentives for domestic and international investment
• Renewed focus on the Double Taxation Treaty with the USA

At the same time, reliable financial reporting and robust audit oversight are the cornerstones of a healthy business environment. We work to:

• Align Moldova’s reporting rules with EU Directives and IFRS
• Promote a culture of financial transparency
• Strengthen audit oversight through modernized, independent control mechanisms

At the same time, focus is also on Corporate sustainability reporting (CSRD) as part of the general financial reporting of a company.

Furthermore, with Moldova expecting to receive pre-accession funds (2028–2034), the Committee is committed to helping businesses:

• Access and use these funds effectively
• Engage in transparent public procurement, especially in tech sectors
• Stay informed and prepared for upcoming changes in the regulatory landscape
