Notice: Tax and Customs Measures in the Revised Budget 2024-2025
Summary: The MEF's notice (MEF/AVIS/345/06-2025, June 2025) setting out the tax and customs measures introduced by the revised 2024-2025 budget. This is where a change in the revised budget becomes an operative rule for taxpayers and importers. Scanned; text recovered by OCR.
Key Findings
- Converts the revised 2024-2025 budget into operative tax and customs measures, stating its purpose as supporting enterprises, promoting job creation and protection, encouraging private investment and strengthening the economy and national production.
- Removes a time limit rather than adding a rate: enterprises investing in renovation, re-equipment, expansion or modernization receive fiscal and customs exemption on imported equipment and raw materials with no restriction of period, under article 30 of the revised budget amending article 28 of the Investment Code.
- Extends exemption to investments oriented toward export or re-export, covering equipment, materials and raw materials, under article 31 amending article 29 of the Investment Code.
- Works by amending the Investment Code through the budget law rather than by separate legislation, which is what makes a budget annex the operative document for investors.
- Is addressed to employers' associations, chambers of commerce and industry, the private business sector and the general population, so the notice functions as the publication step that makes the measures actionable.
