Meanwhile, the second instalment of the tax will be paid in the fourth month following the first instalment.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>Conclusion&lt;/strong>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">We expect that the procedures and principles regarding the implementation of the one-time additional tax, which was introduced to meet the urgent needs of earthquake victims in the disaster areas and to create resources for the reconstruction of the earthquake-affected region, will be determined by a communiqué to be published by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance. Meanwhile, the additional tax gives rise to various discussions in terms of Constitutional principles such as principles of non-retroactivity of laws, predictability and equality in taxation. We recommend that corporate taxpayers consider these discussions, declare the additional tax with a reservation and file lawsuits.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>
