ZAGREB, July 17, 2020 – The Voice of Entrepreneurs association (UGP) believes that it is necessary to write off income taxes and contributions until at least September, warning that rules are virtually being changed on a daily basis which does not contribute to stabilising business operations.
“We consider that tax and contribution write-offs should continue until September at least, particularly since this affects the most vulnerable companies in tourism, hospitality, transport and similar sectors,” the head of the UGP, Hrvoje Bujas, told Hina.
“We see that the rules and concepts are being changed practically every day which, along with the uncertainty caused by the pandemic and two-month lockdown of business operations, is certainly not good for any attempt to stabilise and adapt business,” said Bujas.
Finance Minister Zdravko Maric said on Thursday that more than 90,000 taxpayers had requested a deferment or write-off of their tax liabilities which amounted to a total of HRK 5.3 billion, saying that these measures referred to April, May, and June and would not be extended.
