The state of the Republic of Moldova loses annually 20 billion lei due to tax facilities. This amount constitutes half of the state budget for the current year. The statement belongs to economic expert Veaceslav Ioniță and was made on "Fabrika" show, Publika TV, IPN reports.
"For over 30 years, the Republic of Moldova has offered over one hundred tax facilities that no one knows about and no one has examined. Their impact has never been analysed. We cancelled the last three in the field of HoReCa and others, but the remaining 105 have never been examined, "stated Veaceslav Ionita.
The expert says that the tax facilities should not be cancelled, but proposes that all of them be included in the form of an attachment to the state budget and be voted annually by the Parliament so that the whole country knows them. "So that every year, we can rack our brains and wonder whether they should be included as tax expenditures," said the expert. According to him, this way will be achieved transparency when granting facilities.
Alexandra Can, an entrepreneur and vice chairwoman of the National Liberal Party, believes that tax facilities should be attached to the state budget and that people should see who are the heroes that receive them. In addition, the entrepreneur hopes that the current government will remove the business environment from the shadow economy and give local producers the chance to grow, promoting domestic production and discouraging imports.
