Fiscal reporting for economic entities will be simplified essentially

About 15,000 VAT taxpayers served by the local tax inspectorates in Chisinau and Balti, the Comrat Fiscal Administration Division, the State Main Tax Inspectorate and the Large Taxpayers Division will have to submit fiscal reports through the Electronic Statement service from January 1, 2012, the head of the State Main Tax Inspectorate Nicolae Platon said in a news conference, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The given condition for the VAT taxpayers from other districts will become compulsory starting with 2013, according to the Tax Code. “The move is aimed at optimizing the fiscal administration process by swifter processing the information, simplifying the fiscal reporting procedure and reducing the human factor in the relations between the tax inspectorates and taxpayers,” said Nicolae Platon. The taxpayers will be provided with free assistance in accessing and using the Electronic Statement service. “In order to avoid crowdedness and ensure a fast connection, two new centers for connection to the electronic reporting service were created in Botanica and Centru districts. All the taxpayers were informed about the necessity of using the Electronic Statement service, through the agency of the fiscal offices serving them. About 200 economic entities in the municipality of Chisinau subscribe daily to this service. The informing and connection in the municipalities of Balti and Comrat will start in November,” said Vitalie Coceban, director of the state-run company Fiscservinform. More than 13,000 of the about 15,000 VAT taxpayers are from the municipality of Chisinau. Ludmila Botnaru, head of the Chisinau State Tax Inspectorate, said the legal representatives of the taxpayers (the manager, chief accountant and other persons empowered with the right to sign electronic reports) must present themselves at the tax inspectorates in Centru, Rascani and Ciocana districts to sign the connection agreement so that everyone is connected by the end of this year. The Electronic Statement service is implemented with financing from the state budget (about 4 million lei) and with the assistance of USAID-BIZTAR Project.
