Taxes payable

Persons self-employed in agricultural activities are required to pay:

  • personal income tax (PIT) if registered (or are obliged to register) as taxpayers for value added tax (VAT) purposes;
  • compulsory health insurance (CHI) contributions; 
  • state social insurance (SSI) contributions;
  • value added tax (VAT), depending on the amount of income sourced from self-employment in agricultural activities and purchases of goods from Member States of the EU.

For the calculator of taxes payable on income sourced from self-employment, please see here.

      PIT is calculated as follows:

(Income - expenses) x 15% – credit

When the annual profits generated from self-employment (after deducting expenses) do not exceed EUR 20,000, then the amount of income tax actually charged accounts to 5% of the profits. 

When the annual profits generated from self-employment (after deducting expenses) exceed EUR 20,000, then the income tax rate rises accordingly between 5% and 15%.

When the annual profits generated from self-employment amount to EUR 35,000, then a 15% income tax rate is applied.
