- Employment Fund Tax (FNE)
- Audiovisual Communication Tax (CRTV/RAV)
The key amendment include the new compliance requirement for non-professional taxpayers who earn income from salaries, wages, pensions, life annuities, capital income, movable or real estate income, and other passive income. These taxpayers must submit an annual summary of their income to the tax center corresponding to their place of residence, in accordance with the deadlines stipulated under Article 74 bis. Entities or individuals paying income to non-professional taxpayers must provide the recipients with a detailed summary statement by 15 March of each year.
