6.1 million euros returned to freelancers - Taxes: The process is not over. What

The tax administration has so far returned 6.1 million euros to freelancers, which were paid as advance installments of the Simplified Profit Tax, or Profit Tax as a result of the income tax law. 

Meanwhile, there are still taxpayers who have not yet been reimbursed for prepaid installments for 2024, due to lack of a bank account or incorrect data.

The tax administration informs that these entities must submit a request to the Regional Directorates (in writing or via eFiling). Taxpayers must have an active bank account in lek and specify their data and upload it in advance to eFiling (menu “My Profile”).

As a result of incorrect data declared by taxpayers, an unreimbursed amount of 380 thousand euros has remained.

This process was expected to reimburse a total of 7,157 freelancers who had paid the installments.

Freelancers had a deadline of December 18 to declare their bank account details in order to receive their prepaid installments.

The Income Tax Law, which came into force on January 1, 2024, taxed approximately 29,000 freelance professionals at a rate of 15-23%. The professionals did not agree with this tax regime and took the case to the Constitutional Court. After several hearings, the Constitutional Court decided to repeal the article that taxed this group, calling it discriminatory. However, during this period, a good part of them had paid the relevant obligations.
