On 17 March 2020, the government proposed some tax relief measures for the coronavirus epidemic. The measures are given below:

  • Deferment of paying income tax or to arrange an instalment payment plan for their tax liabilities, social security contributions and certain non-tax levies without being subject to interest being imposed during the period of deferral of payment.
  • No extension of the deadlines for filing of tax returns or other returns.
  • Amounts received by companies or individuals as grants caused by the coronavirus would not be considered taxable for individual income tax  or corporate profit tax purposes.
