Tax incentives and taxpayer protection
The guide covered available tax benefits, special conditions for industrial parks and the application of international contracts on the avoidance of double taxation.
Another section addressed transparency and security, including procedures for conducting audits, automatic budget VAT refunding, debt settlement and mechanisms for protecting taxpayers’ rights through appeals against decisions of the State Tax Service.
The guide also included a practical FAQ section containing answers to common questions from investors.
