- The 2026 Budget Law introduces automated assessment for omitted VAT declarations, bypassing the traditional slow process.
- The Revenue Agency can now use electronic invoices and related data to issue a strengthened “friendly notice,” which, if ignored for 60 days, leads directly to enforced collection.
- The penalty for omitted VAT declarations drops from 120% to 40% if the taxpayer complies, but compensation is strictly prohibited, making debt management more burdensome.
- The new rules significantly speed up tax collection and simplify procedures for the tax authorities.
