Corrections without fine
Taxpayers who will submit amending statements through the Special Platform of the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE) by 15 July have the opportunity to correct errors, gaps or omissions in their tax return without a fine. In many cases, a correction can significantly reduce the tax burden, especially for households that have completed incorrect income, expenses or real estate.
By submitting an amending statement, the data of the original statement (E1), as well as the E2 and E3 forms, shall be automatically transferred to the new form. The taxpayer only interferes with the points where he identifies the mistake. Following submission, new clearance is made and the new clearance shows the final result resulting from the corrections.
In the event of amending a statement after July 15, the taxpayer shall be charged with fines ranging from EUR 100 to 500, as well as with late payment interest. However, there are exceptions from imposing fines in the following cases:
When the difference in tax resulting from the amending is up to 100 euros.
When the amount of taxable material does not change, such as e.g. to changes to the personal information of the taxpayer or the protected members.
But if the additional tax amount exceeds 100 euros, then the following apply:
- For non -professionals, a fine of 100 euros is imposed.
- For professionals: (a) 250 euros fine if they keep books and (b) 500 euros if they keep duplicate books.
