From January 1st 2000, the corporate income tax is levied on distributed profits.

From January 1st 2018, the new tax rate for companies who distribute profits regularly was introduced. The rate falls to 14% in three years.

The first year with lower rate was 2019, when 2/3 of the distributed profits was taxed with 20% and 1/3 with 14%. In 2020 1/3 is taxed with 20% and 2/3 with 14%. In 2021 all with 14%.

The lower rate in 2019 was applied only on the amount which did not exceed the amount distributed in 2018. The 14% in 2021 is applied on the lowest amount of distributed profits in the four-year period 2018-2021. For example if the distributed profits are 2018 – 30 mil, 2019 – 31 mil, 2020 – 18 mil, 2021 – 40 mil, then the rate of 14% in 2021 is applied on 18 mil.

From 2018 the credit institutions pay advance income tax with rate of 14% from profit earned in previous quarter. The first payment was in September 2018 from the 2018 II quarter earned profits. It can be subtracted from next year`s CIT on distributed profits.
