- Submit annually to the Tax Authorities, all variations in their assets, liabilities, and equity.
- In the event that this information does not vary, the declaration shall be deemed submitted by simply confirming the content of the existing declaration.
In addition, the filing of the declaration of inactive companies for the current period has been extended for three months, so the new deadline for submission will expire on June 11th.
