Government has approved a draft law implementing a single account for tax payments
The
Government has approved a draft law implementing a single account for the
payment of taxes and fees as well as the single social tax.
What’s it
about?
The
introduction of a single account for the payment of all taxes and fees
including the single social tax is in line with the anti-corruption law No.
1797 which was prepared jointly with business, MPs and civil experts and
adopted by the Parliament last year. Following this draft law, any taxpayer
would be entitled to open a single account at the State Treasury Office at
her/his discretion to use it for the transfer of all taxes and fees as well as
the single social tax. Taxpayers would be able to pay the income tax, corporate
profit tax, rent fee, environmental tax and other taxes and fees set by the Tax
Code as well as the single social tax. The only exceptions would be VAT and the
excise tax on fuel sales. According to the Tax Code, these two taxes are administered
electronically via dedicated systems.Taxpayers will
be able to open their single account via their electronic office which makes it
significantly easier to pay taxes, fees and the single social tax.
What are
the benefits?
- Simpler
procedures for tax calculation, significant reduction of costs and time
consumption;
- Lower
number of wrong payments or excessive payments by taxpayers;
- No
misunderstandings related to the change of account numbers for tax payments,
since the electronic office of a taxpayer will contain correct account data;
- Easier
conditions for making business and establishing contacts between business and
supervising authorities;
- Higher
transparency and trust of taxpayers towards state authorities.
