For residents who are experiencing financial difficulties and cannot until July 1. To pay taxes in an emergency and for two months after its completion, ITS will not calculate interest on arrears and will not take recovery measures.
“However, we note that the provisions for self-employed workers are slightly different.
Residents who have carried out individual activities that were not prohibited during the quarantine, but encountered temporary difficulties with Covid-19, can apply for the ITS and request fiscal assistance measures, “explained S. Aliukonytė-Šnirienė.
Sodra also needs to pay
Saulius Jarmalis, Head of Sodra’s Communication Department, reported that normally self-employed residents who declare income and pay contributions on the declared income must pay contributions to Sodra at the end of the declaration period.
However, self-employed residents whose activities were included in a special list of the State Tax Inspectorate (ITS) from the beginning of the quarantine until 2 months after its completion can benefit from tax assistance.
This requires until August 17. To send a request to Sodra for deferral of contributions.
Freelancers with arrears of contributions, interest, fines equal to or less than 600 euros must pay deferred contributions within 4 months.
When the amount of arrears is 600-900 euros – in 6 months, when it is 900-1200 euros – in 8 months, and when 1200-20000 euros – in one year.
If the debt is greater than 1,500 euros, the first payment must be made no later than 12 months later. from the presentation of the request for deferment of debt payment.
In case the person does not consider himself a victim of the pandemic and Sodra does not request a deferment of payment, the contributions of the previous year must be paid before July 1.
“If a self-employed person is not considered affected by COVID-19 and has a debt of more than € 1,500, contributions are deferred in the normal way.
It is important that an autonomous resident request a deferral of contributions. In the case of others, Sodra can apply sanctions after the deadline for the declaration, “explained his representative.
He noted that the self-employed population was unable to pay the mandatory monthly minimum health insurance (PSD) contributions during the quarantine period and not lose their health insurance. They must cover the current contribution of the debt incurred during this period within 2 years.
Other residents who must pay PSD contributions on their own, such as the unemployed, the unpaid, and the uninsured with public funds, have no reserves – they have to pay current PSD contributions every month, both during and after. from quarantine.
When does health insurance disappear?
PSD contributions are collected by Sodra, but it is up to the State Health Insurance Fund (VLK) to decide whether a person is covered by health insurance and whether they will be guaranteed free treatment.
Natalija Jelenskienė, director of the Division of Mandatory Registration of Health Insurance VLK, explained in a slightly different way than the representative of Sodra when it is necessary to pay the PSD so that the insurance does not disappear.
According to her, the Health Insurance Law allows only self-employed residents to not pay PSD contributions until the end of the emergency (not quarantine, which has already ended), deferring the payment of these contributions for 2 years from the end date of the emergency.
“As the insurance is valid monthly, at the end of the emergency period, the PSD guarantee remains valid until the end of that month.
However, the month after the end of the emergency, contributions must be paid, otherwise the resident will remain uninsured and will be paid for health care services, ”said N. Jelenskienė.
According to her, after the end of the quarantine, the usual rules for the payment of PSD contributions apply to other groups of the population: people who systematically pay PSD contributions will be covered by health insurance:
“The lack of payment from June to the end of June will end the PSD and will only come into effect after the payment of the debt and the payment of the current month; in this case, the resident’s insurance will come into effect from the date of payment of the last contribution “.
