News That Pay Off: Learn All About the Changes to the Law on Tax Procedure and Tax Administration
CONFIDA Serbia – a tax advisory, consulting and accounting company with a team of experts for tax-legal, audit and accounting regulations – below presents the most significant changes to the Law on Tax Procedure and Tax Administration (henceforth: ZPPPA).
The taxpayer’s request for deferment of tax payment
The amendments to the ZPPPA delete the Article that provided a limitation for the Tax Administration – the Tax Authorities will not issue a Decision on compulsory debt settlement if the deferment request of tax payment submits within the deadline specified in the admonishment until the request is decided.
CONFIDA Serbia notes that, with the adopted changes, the Tax Authorities no longer have this limitation. If the deferment request of tax payment by the deadline is submitted, Tax Authorities can initiate the procedure of compulsory debt settlement.
The implications for the taxpayer are the increase in the tax debt during the compulsory debt settlement, the possible costs of compulsory debt settlement, regardless of the fact of the request submission, and the potential outcome of the decision on the taxpayer’s submitted request.
