Collect tax in Moldova

In Moldova, Stripe only supports collecting VAT for services provided through electronic networks. In Stripe, these are referred to as “digital products.” To collect this tax on Stripe, you must be a remote seller without a physical presence in the country.

When to register for tax collection

See Thresholds to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Moldova. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the monitoring tool works.

Remote sellers selling services provided through electronic networks (digital products) to individuals in Moldova have to register for tax from their first sale there. Sales to business customers in Moldova don’t trigger any tax registration obligations because non-resident businesses aren’t required to collect tax on these sales.

• Threshold: 1 transaction
• Included transactions: Business-to-consumer (B2C) sales of digital goods or electronically supplied services (digital products)
