Tax Department: Defense and GHS Contributions via Tax Portal

The Tax Department announced that the withholding of the special contribution for defense and the GHS on interest, dividends, and deemed dividends for the tax year 2026 will be carried out through the Tax Portal. This means that a declaration via TAXISnet will not be required for these withholdings. Specifically, the withholding will apply to the Special Contribution for Defense and the General Health System (GHS) on interest (codes 602 and 702), dividends (codes 603 and 703), and deemed dividends (codes 623 and 723). Access to the Tax Portal is available through the Tax Department's website, in the e-services section. The corresponding Withholding Declaration for these contributions for 2026 will be submitted via Tax For All (TFA) at a later date, which will be announced soon. Taxpayers should monitor the announcements of the Tax Department to be informed about the exact date of submission. The use of the Tax Portal for withholding contributions aims to simplify the process and reduce bureaucracy for taxpayers. This transition is expected to facilitate compliance with tax obligations and improve the efficiency of tax administration.
