Summary/Abstract: Currently, with reference to Local Budgets, in the Republic of Moldova there are practically 2 budget systems. One system works in Gagauzia and another for the rest of the country. The local authorities of Găgăuzia do not participate in the formation system of the Financial Support Fund of administrative-territorial units (FSF), instead Găgăuzia retains practically all taxes and state fees collected on its territory. Also, the authorities of Gagauzia benefit without restrictions from all the spending programs in the BS, having the same rights as LPAs in the rest of the country. The rest of the authorities, although they are covered by the same concept of budget formation, however, due to regulatory peculiarities, there are major differences in the structure of revenue formation for two other groups of local authorities: (i) for districts, and (ii) Balti and Chisinau municipalities.
