Income tax rates for 2013

15% for individuals.

You may be entitled to a tax-free allowance and deductions for certain types of expenditure.

When and how do you pay?

You must make estimated tax payments in advance (calculated on the basis of the previous year's tax return). Any adjustments needed to correct over- or underpayment will be made once you file your annual tax return.

If you have started a new business, you must calculate the amount of the advance payments yourself.

How to appeal / complain

If you disagree with your tax assessment, you can appeal to the tax office.

Read your tax assessment letter carefully to find out exactly which department you should send your appeal to and which procedures you need to follow.
