How a corporate tax lawyer in Moldova can help
If you run a company in Moldova, a corporate tax issue can arise from an assessment, a penalty, a refund claim or a dispute that reaches the courts. This page explains the legal environment in which a corporate tax lawyer in Moldova works and how to get matched with an advocate who handles corporate tax matters. Moldova is a unitary state with a continental-style court system and a regulated advocacy profession. Only advocates registered with the Union of Lawyers may provide legal assistance, and court proceedings are conducted in Romanian with free interpretation available where needed. We do not give legal advice; we match you with a lawyer who can review your situation and set out the next steps.
Moldova in practice
The Moldovan framework for corporate tax disputes
The verified facts describe a unitary state with a continental-style judiciary and a regulated advocacy profession. They do not set out corporate tax rates or filing rules, so this section focuses on the procedural setting in which a corporate tax lawyer in Moldova works.
Courts and appeals
Corporate tax disputes that reach court follow the ordinary court hierarchy: first-instance courts, courts of appeal and the Supreme Court of Justice. An appeal against a first-instance judgment must be lodged within 30 days, and recourse to the Supreme Court within 2 months. A corporate tax lawyer in Moldova can map the correct route.
Who may represent you
Only advocates registered with the Union of Lawyers of the Republic of Moldova, holding a licence and subject to the Statute of the profession, may provide legal assistance. Legal assistance in court is normally provided under a legal-assistance contract with the client, with limited statutory exceptions for close relatives.
Court fees and legal costs
Judicial fees are governed by Law No. 213/2023 on the state tax, in force from 1 January 2024. The law sets a separate stamp tax of 200 lei and provides that recourse applications attract 70% of the state tax paid at first instance. Payments are made through the government MPay service. Lawyers’ fees are freely agreed in the legal-assistance contract.
Language and interpretation
Romanian is the state language and procedural acts are drafted in Romanian. If you do not speak Romanian, you may acquaint yourself with the file and speak through an interpreter free of charge. Official legislation is published in Monitorul Oficial and consolidated on Legis.md, which helps a corporate tax lawyer in Moldova check the current text.
Electronic filing and court fees
Claims, appeals, recourse applications and other procedural documents may be filed through the Integrated Case Management Programme (e-Dosar / PIGD). Electronic filing coexists with paper filing and requires an authenticated electronic identity. Court fees are paid online via MPay. A corporate tax lawyer in Moldova can file through the system where appropriate.
Recent court reform
Moldova has been implementing an extraordinary evaluation of judges and prosecutors since 2022–2023, a condition of its EU accession process. This has temporarily reduced the number of sitting judges and contributed to longer proceedings. A reform of the Supreme Court of Justice and the courts of appeal is also being implemented, so institutional details can change.

Common concerns
What makes corporate tax problems difficult to handle alone
These are the practical pressures clients mention most often when they first contact us.
You cannot tell which court or procedure applies
Corporate tax matters can involve administrative steps, civil claims or criminal issues. The court hierarchy, appeal routes and preliminary requests differ, so the first task is often to identify the correct procedural path before any deadline passes.
Deadlines are easy to miss
Appeal periods, recourse periods and preliminary-request deadlines run quickly. If you are unsure whether a step has already started the clock, a local advocate can review the chronology and tell you what remains open.
Language and filing rules add pressure
Proceedings are in Romanian, and documents may be filed electronically through e-Dosar or on paper. Court fees are paid through MPay. These practical rules can slow down a company that is already dealing with a tax dispute.
