deadline, financial statements, private sector companies
Private sector companies and non-profit organisations are required to prepare their financial statements for the previous financial year by June 30, 2021. According to the Accounting Act, companies have 3 months to prepare the report, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline has been extended by additional 3 months.

By the end of June, the financial statements for 2020 must be drawn up and signed by the head of the entity.

Acceptance of the financial statements

In 2021, the postponement also applies to the acceptance of the financial statements. Under current regulations, the deadline will be the end of the 9th month following the end of the financial year, i.e. for the companies with a calendar financial year, 30 September.

Deadline for submission of the statements to National Revenue Administration (KAS)

Within a maximum of 15 days from the date of approving the statements, companies registered in the National Court Register (KRS) are obliged to submit the statements to the Head of the National Tax Administration. CIT payers who are not registered in the KRS must do so within 10 days from the date of approving the statements. For natural persons conducting business activity, however, the deadline for filing the statements expires earlier - on 31 July 2021.

The statement can only be submitted to KAS by electronic means.
