How will 6 thousand freelancers be reimbursed? - Discussions of the PD initiative in the Assembly begin/ The default interest rates should also be forgiven
6541 taxpayers who provide professional services have prepaid tax for the period January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 in the amount of 500 million ALL, since the entry into force of the law on income tax which taxed self-employed professionals at a rate of 15-23 %, until the decision of the Constitutional Court which abolished this article.
While the rest of the taxpayers turn out to have been burdened with tax obligations and due to non-payment interest has also accumulated. Although this law has been repealed, freelancers have not yet been compensated for the tax they have paid, and a way to get this money back has not yet been determined.
Based on the government's will and willingness to reimburse this category, the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party has undertaken a legal initiative that aims to provide solutions for their reimbursement.
The Parliamentary Committees have started discussions on the initiative of the Democratic Party, according to which, it is required that "All taxpayers, who supply professional services, who have prepaid the tax for the period January 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024, the tax administration, within 30 days from the entry in force of this law, exceeds the amounts paid on account of other tax obligations, unpaid by taxpayers. After that, upon written request of the taxpayer, the remaining amount, if any, is automatically refunded to the taxpayer's account or transferred to the account of the taxpayer's future tax obligations".
Also, a point is added that aims to remove fines in cases where these obligations have not been paid. The proposed item intends that "all taxpayers, who supply professional services, who have been charged with unpaid tax obligations for the period January 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024, according to Article 69, of the Law "On Income Tax 2023 as amended, repealed by decision no. 52, dated 27.06.2024 of the Constitutional Court, tax administration, within 30 days after the entry into force of this law, delete the tax liability from the system together with late interest".
