Moldovan unions and employers urge Parliament to reject proposed 12% income tax

Trade unions and employer organizations in Moldova are calling on Parliament to reject a proposed change to tax legislation that would eliminate their current income tax exemptions. The National Confederation of Trade Unions of Moldova (CNSM) and the National Confederation of Employers of the Republic of Moldova (CNPM) have submitted a joint appeal to Parliament President Igor Grosu and the Committee on Economy, Budget, and Finance.

The proposed amendment, part of a bill aimed at simplifying tax and customs legislation, would subject these organizations to a 12% income tax. The CNSM and CNPM argue that their activities are non-commercial, with primary revenue generated from membership fees and dues used to defend member interests. They warn that the loss of these resources could diminish their capacity to perform statutory functions and participate independently in social dialogue and public policy development.
