We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest project, "Simplu despre Business," – “Business in a simple word”, designed specifically for aspiring and current entrepreneurs. Starting from July 1st, every Monday, we release a new interview on our YouTube channel, featuring successful business leaders who share their stories, strategies, and lessons learned along the way.

Our company, specializing in business consultancy and legal advisory services, has successfully met a critical demand from one of our esteemed clients. Leveraging our focused efforts and adeptness in navigating legislative intricacies and government relations, we secured residency status in the Ungheni Free Economic Zone (FEZ) on behalf of our client, thereby unlocking fresh avenues for business expansion and advancement.

In a gesture of solidarity and support for Ukrainian refugees temporarily settled in the city of Cahul, Republic of Moldova, as well as at the request of the NGO "LAOLALTA," our company organized a special training session on integration into the local entrepreneurial environment. The event took place in an atmosphere of openness and commitment, where the 20 participants had the opportunity to learn about registering legal entities and the specific fiscal aspects of entrepreneurial activities in Moldova.

Today, "One Note" LLC launched the first training session dedicated to those who intend to start their own business in the Republic of Moldova. Among the participants were women with well-defined ideas, convinced that through their personal business, they will achieve not only remarkable results but also numerous opportunities to fulfill their proposed goals and plans.

Henceforth, companies will be responsible for generating their own waybills and associated documents. Taxpayers will now independently handle the creation and printing of their waybills, accompanying letters for goods, and travel maps, ensuring compliance with the mandatory elements specified for primary documents.

According to a previously adopted government decision, as of January 1, 2024, the minimum wage is set at 5,000 lei (260 euro) per month with an average monthly working time of 169 hours, which amounts to 29.58 lei per hour. Prior to this, the minimum wage in Moldova, in both the real and budget sectors, was the same, amounting to 4,000 lei per month with an average monthly working time of 169 hours (23.67 lei per hour).

Starting from January 1, in Moldova, sick leave payments will no longer depend on the length of work experience. Now, employers/individual entrepreneurs will provide benefits for temporary work disability caused by common illnesses or accidents unrelated to work, regardless of the duration of the contribution payment period.

The new year 2024 is a leap year. In 2024 will have one more working day. In total, Moldovans will work for 253 days and have a rest for 113 days (assuming a five-day workweek and two rest days).

As of January 1, 2024, the new Customs Code has come into effect. This legislative act aims to improve the quality of services provided to economic agents by the customs authority, reduce costs and delays related to the declaration of goods, and mitigate the risks of fraud and integrity incidents through online monitoring of customs operations and the reduction of paper-based customs procedures.
