Provisional Tax for the tax year 2026
Obligation for provisional tax payment
We would like to remind you about the obligation of the companies and individuals (who derive income other than from emoluments) to estimate their annual taxable income and settle in advance their resulting income tax payable for the tax year 2026 in two equal instalments, on 31 July 2026 and 31 December 2026.
| Provisional tax instalments | Statutory deadline | Effective deadline (No interest/penalty) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st instalment | 31 August 2026 | 31 January 2027 |
| 2nd instalment | 31 December 2025 | 31 January 2026 |
In case no taxable income is expected for the tax year 2026, then no provisional tax should be paid.
Revised provisional tax calculation
The provisional tax may be revised upwards or downwards any time before 31 December 2026. In case of an upward revision, interest is payable on the difference between the revised amount payable and the amount initially declared and paid.
10% additional tax
A 10% additional tax is imposed on the difference between the final tax due and the provisional tax paid, in case the taxable income declared is less than 75% of the final taxable income for the year.
