The current system of taxes for using roads when entering and leaving the Republic of Moldova has been modified. Parliament adopted a bill to amend a number of legislative acts in this regard, submitted by a group of MPs, in the second reading on July 27, IPN reports.

The amendments introduce the mechanism concerning the application of the vignette for minibuses, buses, trucks and trailers registered in the Republic of Moldova, replacing the current system of taxes for using roads when entering and transiting Moldova. The new mechanism provides for the diminution of the tax for using Moldovan roads for motor vehicles that are not registered in Moldova, depending on the period of stay on the country’s territory and the category of vehicle.

The vignette will be valid for one day, 7, 15, 30, 90 and 180 days, and 12 months. The period of validity will start at 12 midnight of the day requested by the applicant and will end at 11:59pm of the last day of the period for which the tax is paid.
