When to address the service

Back to top

As an individual, you can declare exempt income no later than by the end of the deadline for filing your tax return for the tax year (within 3 months after the end of the tax year under the Tax Code) in which you received the income. This notification period generally applies even to taxpayers who are not required to file a tax return.

The deadline is extended if you are obliged to file a tax return at the same time as the notification, and the tax return is filed electronically (the deadline is extended to 4 months after the end of the tax year) or through a tax advisor (the deadline is extended to 6 months after the end of the tax year).
