In the case of NGOs, the declaration can be submitted until July 31, 2020.

This regulation applies accordingly to payments under contracts of mandate and contracts of specific work.

EXCLUSION OF THE SO-CALLED BAD DEBT RELIEF

The regulations provide for an exemption from the obligation to apply the provisions on the so-called bad debts of PIT and CIT taxpayers, who are obliged to increase their income, which is the base for calculating monthly (quarterly) advances due in 2020, by the liabilities not paid on time. This exemption will be available only to those taxpayers whose revenues in the settlement periods of 2020 (monthly or quarterly) compared to the corresponding periods in 2019 will decrease by at least 50%. Liabilities that were not settled during the year before the submission of the annual return for 2020 will be included by taxpayers in their annual return.

Entrepreneurs will be able to make one-off depreciation write-offs on the initial value of fixed assets, purchased in order to produce goods related to combating COVID-19 and entered in the register of fixed assets and intangible assets in 2020.

If these donations are made by entrepreneurs before April 30, 2020, an amount corresponding to 200% is deducted, in May 2020, an amount equal to 150% is deducted and from June 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020, an amount equal to the value of the donation will be deducted. The full amount of the donation will be subject to an income tax deduction, provided that it is documented by a proof of payment to the recipient’s payment account or bank account and, in the case of in-kind donations, by the recipient’s declaration of acceptance and a proof of value and identification of the donor.

RELIEF FOR R&D ACTIVITIES AIMED AT COMBATING COVID-19

Eligible costs incurred in 2020 for research and development activities aimed at developing products necessary for counteracting COVID-19 will be deductible by entrepreneurs from the income that is the base for calculating the advance tax payment.

Entrepreneurs who have obtained eligible income from qualified intellectual property rights used to counteract COVID-19 may apply a 5% tax rate to the taxation of such income during the current tax year when calculating income tax advances.
