We would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is crucial to provide justification in the application, which should present arguments that constitute an important interest of the taxpayer. In the explanatory notes you will find examples of points to use in your individual case. Entrepreneurs should be prepared to submit additional explanations and documents to the tax authorities. In particular, the tax authorities may request the entrepreneur to:
- present the impact of granting a repayment relief in the form of a deferment of tax payment deadline on the further functioning of the Company
- submit a list of the Company’s bank accounts together with confirmation of the current balances of those accounts
- submit a statement showing the level of employment and timely payment of remuneration in the past 12 months
- submission of all certificates of de minimis aid granted
We hope that the application forms will assist you in the first stage of applying for the indicated reliefs.
According to recent press reports on the internal guidelines of the Ministry of Finance for tax authorities, applying for a deferral of tax payment or spreading it into instalments should mean that no other procedures have been initiated, including enforcement, tax inspection, verification activities or criminal and fiscal proceedings. On the other hand, the application for tax remission may result in an in-depth analysis of the state aid rules.
