The Patent Tax is applied on total annual turnover and is paid by the end of March every year. The new taxpayer shall pay this tax in a full year amount if the business is started within the first half of the year, or pay in a half year amount if the business is started within the second half of the year. The taxpayer who has branches, warehouses, factories or workplaces for the same business in the same local jurisdiction is subject only one patent tax payment, but if that taxpayer has different businesses in different local jurisdictions he shall pay the patent tax for each business and each jurisdiction. The taxpayer must display the patent certificate at the principle place of business.
