Moldova considers tax monopoly on scrap metal market

The Ministry of Economy and Digitization is considering the introduction of a tax monopoly on the scrap metal market. The move is aimed at targeting entrepreneurs who are active in the sector but are not taxpayers.

According to the authorities, the mechanism can be implemented in sectors where state intervention is necessary to correct competitive deficiencies or to strengthen control over a market of national importance.

The scrap metal market sector will be monitored by the National Commission for Fiscal Monopoly, which was established at the end of 2022.
