Starting from January 1, 2026, the Republic of Moldova will abandon the taxation of car imports based on engine capacity, introducing a VAT of 20%. Authorities justify this measure as an alignment with European standards. Representatives of car dealerships warn that the prices of new cars could increase by thousands of euros, which has led to a surge in demand before the implementation of the new taxes. Experts estimate a decrease in sales in the first half of 2026, especially for more affordable cars.
