Business profits
The new law contains a clear definition of the term “business profits” and the method for calculating
such profits. The law specifies that any increase in income from an illegal, unjustified or unknown
source will be subject to income tax at a rate of 33%. The concept of a business transaction is
defined to include any separate or incidental action by which a transaction is carried out and/or the
“systematic performance” (three similar actions taking place within a six-month period) of actions in
the financial market that has/have the purpose of making a profit.
As noted above, the tax rates for business profits remain unchanged: 26% for taxable income up to
EUR 50,000 and 33% on the excess.
Profits derived from a personal agricultural business will be taxed at a rate of 13%.
