This deposit will be calculated on the basis of the fiscal year 2020 and not 2019, and may include a margin of error of up to 10%, said the Ministry of the Economy.
However, companies must ensure that they have paid a total of 50% of corporation tax (IS) when paying the second installment on June 15.
