Moldova is gradually moving closer to the European Union — EU roaming is already in effect, and accession talks are underway. For IT companies in the country, a separate regime has been in place for several years — Moldova IT Park: a single tax instead of several, simplified reporting, and a jurisdiction built around transparent work with foreign clients.
For a client in Romania, Poland or elsewhere in the EU, this means something concrete: development costs less than the EU average, while the company operates legally, pays taxes under a clear scheme, and isn't hiding behind grey outsourcing arrangements. It's closer to a nearshore development model than to “a freelancer from another country.”
TOT Studio Labs is a Moldova IT Park resident, working with both local clients in Moldova and export projects. If you're considering a development team outside your own country — get in touch, and we'll talk through what fits your project.
