Extension of the deferral for the payment of taxes and contributions granted to SMEs from ‘affected’ industries

Please note that, as compared with the Government’s Resolution No. 409 dated 2 April 2020 the list of affected industries has been changed to a certain degree. For instance, road carriers and entrepreneurs trading in non-food products will not be eligible for the benefit.

The ‘affected’ SMEs from the new list will be granted a 9-month deferral of the deadlines stipulated by the legislation with respect to taxes, social security contributions and advance payments relating to them for January-March 2020 (except VAT as well as taxes arising out of agency agreements and taxes relating to self-employed individuals). In addition, a deferral of 2 months is granted with respect to transport tax, land tax and property tax for Q1.
