Coverage

Included are all business entities that submitted completed electronic form to the Tax Administration, i.e. the form on tax report PPP-PD, with calculated salaries and wages.

Encompassed are all categories of employees for which employers, i.e. business entities delivered to the Tax Administration the completed electronic form on tax report PPP-PD, with calculated salaries and wages.
