The Registration Sector registers the entity in the IT system and sends the tax obligation to the entity by mail.
  • The deadline for the payment of local taxes is April 20 of the fiscal year. For newly registered entities, the tax obligation will be calculated from the month of registration with the National Registration Center (QKR).

In no case shall the total fine exceed 25 percent of the unpaid obligation.
