Tax & Customs Lawyer in Moldova — Help With Tax Disputes

This practice area is built for foreign nationals, foreign-owned companies and members of the Moldovan diaspora who have business interests, assets or income connected to the Republic of Moldova.

If you have received a notice from the State Tax Service, are facing a customs valuation or tariff-classification dispute, or simply want a Moldovan tax position reviewed before a transaction, you can engage our office without travelling to Chișinău.

Most steps can be handled remotely, by power of attorney, with consultations over WhatsApp, Viber or Zoom in your own time zone.

We cover the full lifecycle of a tax or customs matter, from preventive advice through to litigation.

We begin with a consultation to review the documents you have received and confirm the deadlines that apply. Together we decide whether an administrative appeal, a court action, or a combined strategy best fits your situation.

In Moldova, a pre-court administrative challenge is often a required stage before a tax matter can reach the administrative court. We prepare that appeal, manage the evidence and, where needed, file and conduct the court action on your behalf, keeping you informed at each stage.

Because so much can be done by power of attorney, you generally do not need to be physically present in Moldova for the procedure to move forward.

Fees depend on the complexity of the matter, the stages involved (advice, administrative appeal, litigation) and the volume of documents. Any figures discussed at the outset are orientative and may be adjusted as the case develops.

Before we start, we agree in writing on the scope of the engagement and how the fee is calculated, so you have a clear picture of costs. Acting early — ideally during the audit itself — usually reduces later effort and expense.

Please note that deadlines and certain statutory thresholds can change; we always check the rules in force at the time of your matter.
