    Cómo declarar criptomonedas en Moldavia

    Moldova does not yet have specific tax rules for cryptocurrencies: the Tax Service treats them as property, and only 50% of the gain is added to your income at a rate of 12%, resulting in an effective tax of around 6%.

    The 50% rule and the new law of 2027

    As there is no specific regulation, the sale of cryptocurrencies is treated as a capital gain: half of the difference between the selling price and the purchase price is declared.

    In 2026, Moldova approved Law No. 180 on the crypto-asset market, which will come into force on March 17, 2027. Until then, it is prohibited to provide virtual asset services in the country.

    International Information

    This country is not part of the European Union, so DAC8 directive and MiCA regulation do not directly apply. Nevertheless, the international exchange of tax information (including the future OECD CARF framework) increases the traceability of platforms.

    Before filing: have your history in order

    The first step to a proper tax declaration is to download the complete transaction history from each platform you use. MiCA-licensed exchanges often provide ready-to-use annual reports, which significantly simplifies the filing process.
