The tax for the use of roads by motor vehicles registered in the Republic of Moldova, which is levied in accordance with the fiscal legislation, will not be a source of incomes for the road fund. This will be fully distributed to the territorial-administrative units of the first level and will this way be transferred to the local budgets. This is provided in the draft budgetary-fiscal policy document for 2022, IPN reports.

Amendments were also proposed to the Road Fund Law. The notion “local road” will be replaced with “roads of district/municipal interest” so as to make it clear for what category of local public roads money from the road fund will be distributed depending on the length of administered distances.

The Ministry of Finance said the amendments are aimed at increasing the financial possibilities of the local budgets of the first level for financing local public road infrastructure in the administered territory, keeping the conditions of using the funds according to purpose.
