EU/EEA residents can deduct certain expenses from their gross rental income before applying the 19% tax rate. This can significantly reduce your tax liability. Proper record-keeping is essential to claim these deductions.

The deadline for each quarter is the 20th day of the month following its end. For example, income earned in January, February, and March is due by April 20th. Accurate and timely filing is mandatory.
