Who is obliged for filing the tax declaration?

All legal entities are obliged to file a tax return, regardless on the amount of income earned. Individuals file a tax declaration only if their total taxable income for the year 2024 exceeds €2,823.24.

(If your taxable income was from employment only, you do not need to file a tax return. Ask your employer for an annual tax return by February 15, 2025)

How the tax is calculated?

In the case of legal entities, we base our accounting on revenue minus expenses. This result is transformed into the tax base including addition and deduction items. The most common items that increase the tax base are: representation expenses, non-contractual penalties, expenses counted as an expense only after payment, etc.

Calculation of corporate income tax

Individuals include all their income in the calculation – income from employment, business income, capital income and others. The tax base is calculated as income minus expenses.
This difference is then transformed into a partial tax base.
The taxpayer can deduct the non-taxable parts of the tax base from the so-called active income. Then we calculate the tax liability from the tax base. 

Personal income tax for self-employed persons § 6 of the Income Tax Act

What are the tax rates?

Income tax rates are different for individuals and corporations.

Minimum tax

Effective from 1 January 2024, the minimum corporate tax, which could be recognised as the tax licence, has been added to the Income Tax Act.
The amount of the minimum tax depends on the amount of taxable revenues earned by the taxpayer during the taxable period.

If you started your business in 2024, you don’t pay the minimum tax.

Important dates

– 31.3.2025 – the regular deadline for filing the tax return and paying the tax.

– 30.6.2025 – extended deadline for filing the tax return and paying the tax.

– Taxpayers with taxable income from activities carried out abroad can extend the deadline for filing the tax return and paying the tax until 30.9.2025.

Advance tax payments

An advance payment of income tax is a compulsory payment of tax during a tax period if the actual amount of tax for is not yet known.
The conditions for advance payments are the same for legal and physical entities.
If the taxpayer’s last known tax liability exceeds €5,000, the taxpayer is obliged to pay quarterly tax advances at the rate of ¼ of the last known tax liability.
If the taxpayer’s last known tax liability exceeded €16,600, the taxpayer is liable to pay monthly tax advances at the rate of 1/12 of the taxpayer’s last known tax liability.
The advances are due at the end of each period for which they are paid. The first advances are due by the end of the first month/quarter following the filing of the tax return.
