1. Payment CIT quarterly
Decree 91 has changed the rule on provisional quarterly CIT payments. Especially, the total provisional quarterly CIT payments for four quarters must be at least 80% of the annual tax finalization payable.
According to Article 2.1 of Decree 91, this change retrospectively applies from the 2021 tax period under the following scenarios:
- If the provisional tax payable for the first three-quarters of the tax period of 2021 was not less than 75% of the annual CIT finalization for 2021, the threshold of 80% under Decree 91 would not be applied.
- If the provisional tax payable for the first three-quarters of the tax period of 2021 was less than 75% of the annual CIT finalization for 2021, the threshold of 80% under Decree 91 would be applied if this rule would not result in an increase in late payment interest.
- Taxpayers are allowed to request a decrease adjustment of the late payment interest paid according to Decree 126 if the application of the 80% threshold under Decree 91 will result in a decrease in late payment interest.
