Moldovan Prime Minister Vasile Tofan has announced a draft tax reform package for 2027 that targets nicotine consumption through tax increases. Under the proposed policy, excise taxes on vaping products will rise by 50%, while traditional cigarettes will see a 20% increase.
The government expects these measures to reduce smoking and vaping rates while boosting state revenue. This fiscal shift also aims to align Moldova's national tax policies closer to European Union standards.
| Product Category | Proposed Excise Tax Increase (2027) |
|---|---|
| Electronic Cigarettes / Vapes | +50% |
| Traditional Cigarettes | +20% |
Beyond tobacco, the 2027 reform package proposes a 6% turnover tax on gambling companies and a 25% excise tax on pyrotechnics. The draft policy will soon undergo public consultation before being submitted to parliament for final approval.
