- Starting October 1, 2026, all parcels under 150 euros will be subject to a 20% VAT in Moldova, removing the previous exemption.
- The VAT will be included in the sale price or paid at the post office, so citizens won’t need to visit tax offices or customs.
- The measure aims to simplify tax collection, ensure fiscal equity, and align Moldova with EU practices.
- The Finance Minister opposes raising the non-taxable parcel ceiling, emphasizing the need for tax revenue to fund public services.
- In 2025, about 10 million parcels worth 10 billion lei entered Moldova; taxing them could have generated at least 2 billion lei in VAT.
