At midnight, the extension of the deadline for the submission of tax returns and those who have a debit note will have to pay the additional income tax by July 31.

Payment can be made either a one -off (with a discount of 2% to 4%, depending on when the declaration was submitted) or in eight monthly installments (with the 1st installment having to be paid by July 31).

In addition, alternatives for those who are unable to pay tax in eight monthly installments are as follows:

-Through credit card, up to 12 interest -free installments. If the payment is made by July 31st, there will be a 2%- 4% discount depending on the date of filing the statement (4% deduction applies to those who submitted the statement by April 30).

-Through the fixed adjustment of the tax office. The debt can be adjusted to up to 24 monthly installments, but they are bold. For up to 12 installments, the interest rate is 4.34%. For 13 to 24 installments, the interest rate is 5.84%.
