FISC. . . and bureaucracy amplified by online services

Because we set out to carry out economic activities related to agriculture, it is logical that we need land. In the spring of 2017, we identified the lands, signed the lease contracts with the owners, which still need to be registered with the State Fiscal Inspectorate (this is what the legislation stipulates). We decided to use the online services platform offered by servicii.fisc.md, which we thought would make our procedure easier and save us time. But, it was not to be. It took us about a month to register the land lease contracts with the FISC, and we succeeded in this only on the fourth attempt.

The first attempt to register the contracts online at the FISC was made by the company’s administrator, who is a bit versed in information technologies. I filled out the applications as I saw fit, attached the contracts, saved the applications, signed them electronically and shipped them. A few days later I received a refusal for all three applications sent (see the image on the left). In the receipts, the reasons for the refusals were indicated: the name of the subdivision was spelled correctly, SUBDIVISION CODE 0002 PLEASE ATTACH THE DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE NATURAL PERSON, SUBDIVISION CODE – 0002 TO THE CONTRACT WITH THE NATURAL PERSON ATTACH THE DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE NATURAL PERSON.

Second attempt. Yes, as the first time, the application may have been wrong, I indicated not where it should be, . . . it also happens due to lack of experience. The company’s administrator repeatedly filled out the applications as I saw fit, attached the leases and title deeds of the landholders, saved the applications, signed them electronically, and then shipped them. After a few days, all three requests were refused. In the receipts, the reasons for the refusals were indicated: SUBDIVISION CODE 0001, SUBDIVISION CODE 0001, SUBDIVISION CODE 0001, CUBE AGRICULTURAL LAND TYPE 63.

The third attempt has already been made by professional accountants who provide services to the respective company. Accountants filled out the applications, attached the leases and title deeds of the landowners, saved the applications. The administrator electronically signed the applications and then shipped them. A few days later, the requests were again refused. This time, according to the reason for the refusals, the following were indicated: PLEASE ATTACH DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THE OWNERSHIP OF NATURAL PERSONS, PLEASE ATTACH DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THE OWNERSHIP OF NATURAL PERSONS, INCOMPLETE ADDRESS, PLEASE ATTACH DOCUMENTS CONFIRMING THE OWNERSHIP OF NATURAL PERSONS. Countless attempts by the accountants to talk by phone with FISC specialists and understand the essence of the problem were not crowned with success.

The fourth attempt was again made by professional accountants.Accountants filled out the applications, attached the leases and title deeds of the landowners, saved the applications. The administrator electronically signed the applications and then shipped them. And miraculously, all three requests were accepted (see image to the right).

Now we sit and wonder how open and friendly the FISC is through online services and the officials who administer them. Our question is natural since the application was completed (albeit with some small errors) and the scanned primary documents reached the FISC through the online platform. It would have been constructive if FISC officials would correct some fields that were initially entered incorrectly in the application and accept the applications. After all, the same primary documents which are the lease and title were sent several times until they were accepted.
