A number of mandatory CIT deadlines expire at the end of March, so it might be beneficial to prepare all required documents in advance.
Minimum corporate income tax Beginning from 1 January 2024, the exemption (which was introduced via a regulation in 2022) from the new minimum corporate income tax, as governed by the CIT Act, is no longer valid. The said minimum CIT amounts to 10 percent of the tax base. It is applicable to corporate income taxpayers that incurred a loss from operating activities and those whose break-even point, i.e. share of income in operating revenues, was not more than 2 percent during a tax year.

There are issues specific to that industry and business events can be accounted for differently depending on whether they are recognised for accounting or tax purposes.
Buildings are responsible for nearly 40 percent of global CO2 emissions. It is estimated that the total floor area of buildings in use will increase by 75 percent in the period 2020–2050. As in other sectors, there is a need to raise the reduction targets from well below 2°C to 1.5°C.
