Moldova: Draft law introducing comprehensive EU-aligned excise duty framework
New framework would cover alcohol, tobacco, energy products, and electricity
The government on July 30, 2026, approved and submitted to Parliament a draft law replacing Title IV of the Tax Code with a comprehensive EU-aligned excise duty framework covering alcohol, tobacco, energy products, and electricity.
The proposal introduces EU-style excise rules on tax warehouses, duty suspension arrangements, movement controls, exemptions, and excise administration, with implementation scheduled upon Moldova’s accession to the EU.
