  • 21% – for legal entities with taxable income (revenue) over €60,000.

Tax License (Minimum Tax)

A tax license, i.e. a minimum tax for legal entities, has been introduced since January 1, 2024. If the calculated tax liability does not reach the specified minimum amount, the taxpayer is obliged to pay the minimum tax. The amount of the minimum tax depends on the following factors:

Legal entities that employ at least 20% of employees with disabilities are entitled to a 50% reduction in the minimum tax. Newly established legal entities do not pay the minimum tax in the year of their establishment, except in cases where they were established as a legal successor to a dissolved company without liquidation.
