The surcharge rate will be 15% for the companies with gross revenue exceeding €1 billion. The companies with gross revenue exceeding €3 billion will have to pay an “additional contribution” equal to 15%., i.e., these taxpayers will be subject to a total surcharge of 30% of their gross corporate tax liability. This rule for exceptional surcharge applies on the corporate income tax for the financial year closed between 31 December 2017 and 30 December 2018.
