A restaurant isn't run like a shop. Thin margins on perishable goods, many small daily transactions, staff coming and going, and a VAT rate that's changing in 2026 — all demand accounting built for hospitality. We keep the books, calculate taxes and salaries and file returns on time, so you can focus on the floor and the kitchen.
Moldova's HoReCa sector is going through tax changes. The VAT rate for public catering and accommodation is currently 8%, but the regime is under review in 2026, with a possible rise to 18%. We handle the bookkeeping, payroll and tax reporting and keep you informed of every change that affects your business.
Public catering and accommodation get a reduced VAT rate (currently 8%), while alcohol is taxed separately at the standard rate. The regime is under review in 2026, with a possible rise to 18% — any change affects your invoicing and reporting.
We apply the rate in force correctly in the books and in VAT returns, treat alcohol separately, and let you know in advance how each legislative change affects you.
