Paragraphs
The state encourages independent accumulation by offering personal income tax relief – those who do so can recover up to EUR 300 annually.
The maximum amount of contributions that can be deducted cannot exceed 25% of the taxable income you have received over the entire tax period (Article 21(1) of the Law on Personal Income Tax).
