New rules of income tax payment
As a result of amendments to the Corporate Income Tax Act dated 15 February 1992 taking effect, as of
1 January 2003 taxpayers may benefit from significant simplifications as regards income tax calculation and payment. Taxpayers are now authorized to pay income tax advances in a simplified form. This is essential due to the coming budgeting period and the selection of how to pay income tax advances in the next tax year.
