The regulation will take effect as of April 10, 2010.
Under the decision, approved by the Prime Minister, eligible firms are allowed to pay corporate tax three months after the usual deadline. For example, in the second quarter, they can pay on October 30 at the latest.
The extension applies to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), production companies, and textile and footwear outsourcing firms.
The tax deferment option will be in place until the end of the year. The corporate tax rate is now 25 percent.
