Corporations that are subject to a special accounting period will apply the new rates on income obtained in the special accounting period that begins in calendar year 2023 and following years.

Other provisions of the law on additional motor vehicles tax and reduced/canceled tax exemptions also entered into force on the date of the law's publication (15 July).
